Spontaneous isolated dissection and atherosclerotic plaques of superior mesenteric artery: the vastly different occurrence site suggests the opposite haemodynamic aetiology.
Article in The British journal of radiology, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveThe development of atherosclerotic plaques and spontaneous isolated dissection (SID) of the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) was considered to be related to opposite haemodynamics. The purpose of this study was to compare their occurrence sites and the morphology of the SMA to confirm the haemodynamic aetiologies.
methods57 patients with SID and 64 patients with atherosclerotic plaques were compared about patient characteristics, location of SID and plaque, the distance from lesion to the aortic ostia, SMA branching angle and inlet diameter of the SMA.
resultsThe location of SID and plaque was very different (p < 0.001). The anterior wall was the most common entry site of SIDSMA (84.0%) but the least frequent origin site of atherosclerotic plaques (7.8%). The posterior, left and right walls were the frequent origin sites of atherosclerotic plaques (total 92.2%) but not for SIDSMA. Most plaques started from the aortic ostia, and their average distance to the aortic ostia was significantly less than the distance from the entry site to the aortic ostia of SIDSMA (p < 0.001). No significant difference was found between SIDSMA and the plaque groups in the branching angle and inlet diameter of the SMA.
conclusionThe vastly different sites of SIDSMA and atherosclerotic plaque indicate their opposite haemodynamic aetiology. Advances in knowledge: By comparing the location of the two diseases, we demonstrate their different haemodynamic causes.
