Predictors of bowel necrosis in patients with acute mesenteric ischemia: systematic review and meta-analysis.
Synthesis in Updates in surgery, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 16 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
Acute mesenteric ischemia (AMI) is a serious medical condition that can progress to transmural bowel necrosis. Prediction of the onset of bowel necrosis in AMI is crucial to justify surgical intervention before more severe consequences supervene. This systematic review aimed to identify the significant predictors of bowel necrosis in AMI in the current literature. In adherence to the PRISMA guidelines, electronic databases were searched for studies that reported significant independent predictors of bowel necrosis in AMI. The quality of the studies was assessed with MINORS score. The main outcomes of the review were the incidence and predictors of bowel necrosis in patients with AMI and the mortality rate. This systematic review comprised nine articles that included 963 patients of a median age of 57 years. Irreversible bowel necrosis was found in 402 (41.7%) patients. The significant predictors of bowel necrosis were subdivided into eight clinical, seven biochemical, and six radiologic parameters. Eight parameters were reported by two or more studies, whereas 13 were reported by a single study. Based on the weight and odds ratio of the predictive parameters, a prognostic scoring system, Emile-Khan Score, was proposed. Several clinical, biochemical, and radiologic predictors of bowel necrosis were reported in the literature. Pooling of odds ratios was feasible for eight factors that were reported by more than one study. Further studies are needed to ascertain the utility of the other predictive factors.Level of evidence: Level II (systematic review and meta-analysis).
