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

purposeIschemic colitis (IC) is the most prevalent ischemic injury of thegastrointestinal tract. Clinical features of IC such as acute abdominal pain, hematochezia,and diarrhea are similar to those of acute mesenteric ischemia, inflammatorybowel disease, or infectious bowel disease, and their relative ambiguity candelay diagnosis and treatment. To comprehensively detail the current state ofdiagnostic methods and available drug therapies for detecting and treating IC,this review aims to provide a concise and practical summary of thecorresponding literature.

methodsPubMed and Cochrane Library were searched toretrieve all published studies reporting the diagnostic methods and drugtherapies in patients with ischemic colitis. The search strategy of drugtherapy includes human and animal data.

resultsColonoscopy combined with histopathologicalbiopsy is the standard of diagnosis for the IC. Most patients respond well tothe conservative treatment, and surgical consultation is needed when conservativetreatment is ineffective. Studies of potential drug therapy have beendeveloped, including phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors, pentoxifylline,rebamipide, prostaglandin E1, and polydeoxyribonucleotide.

conclusionAccurate diagnoses and effective treatmentshave helped reduce the mortality rate and improve prognoses for patientsafflicted with IC, and corresponding drug therapies have been constantlyupdated as new research has emerged.
