1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Acute superior mesenteric vein thrombosis was first described in 1935 by Warren and Eberhardt. It is a potentially life-threatening condition, as it can lead to bowel ischemia and, ultimately, infarction. Its etiology may be primary or secondary to acquired prothrombotic conditions. Early recognition of mesenteric venous thrombosis is important, but can be challenging due to its nonspecific clinical presentation. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography is currently the gold standard for diagnosis. Systemic anticoagulation and surgical resection of the necrotic segment are the two main treatments. Here, we describe a case of acute post-traumatic superior mesenteric vein thrombosis, which was treated with systemic anticoagulation and resection of the ischemic bowel segment, with subsequent extension of the thrombosis to the portal vein.
