A Rare Case of Isolated Idiopathic Inferior Mesenteric Artery Dissection.
Article in The American journal of case reports, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
<strong>BACKGROUND</strong> Isolated dissection of a mesenteric artery is very rare and usually presents with acute gastrointestinal symptoms. There have been previously published reports on the isolated dissection of the superior mesenteric artery. However, isolated dissection of the inferior mesenteric artery is rare. <strong>CASE REPORT</strong> A 43-year-old man presented with sudden onset of lower abdominal pain. Abdominal computed tomography (CT) imaging confirmed isolated dissection of the inferior mesenteric artery. To prevent exacerbation of the dissection, his systolic blood pressure was controlled to <140 mmHg, and his progress was observed for ten days while in hospital during which time the dissection stabilized. There was no extension of the dissection. After three years, the dissection had healed and did not recur. <strong>CONCLUSIONS</strong> To our knowledge, this is the first case report of isolated dissection of the inferior mesenteric artery that resolved spontaneously. This case shows the importance of blood pressure control in the management of arterial dissection.
