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

Mesenteric vein thrombosis (MVT) is a rare condition, often misdiagnosed due to its vague and misleading clinical presentation. It can cause intestinal infarction, peritonitis, and consequently necessitate bowel resection. CT scanning with intravenous contrast enhancement is the gold standard for its diagnosis. Radiologists have an important role in defining the extent of thrombosis and identifying any signs of intestinal infarction influencing the decision whether or not to operate. In patients with no clinical signs of peritonitis or radiological evidence of intestinal infarction, the treatment can be exclusively medical, based on full anticoagulation (initially with low molecular weight heparin, followed by vitamin K antagonists or direct acting oral-anticoagulants). The duration of medical treatment depends on radiological evidence of resolution of thrombosis and the identification of pro-coagulant risk factors.
