Ischemic gastrointestinal complications of COVID-19: a systematic review on imaging presentation.
Synthesis in Clinical imaging, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 47 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
backgroundLimited data is available addressing gastrointestinal (GI) ischemia in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). We reviewed the clinical and radiologic features of GI ischemia and its related complications in thirty-one COVID-19 patients reported in literature.
methodsA systematic literature review was performed using a search strategy on all studies published from January 1, 2020, to June 13, 2020, and updated on September 6, 2020, on databases from PubMed, Scopus, Embase, Web of Science, and Google Scholar. Every study with at least one presentation of COVID-19-related GI ischemia complication and one GI imaging finding was included.
resultsIn total, twenty-two studies and thirty-one patients with the mean age of 59 ± 12.7 (age range: 28-80) years old were included, of which 23 (74.2%) patients were male, 7 (22.5%) female, and one unknown gender. The significant GI imaging findings include mesenteric arterial or venous thromboembolism, followed by small bowel ischemia. Nine patients (29%) presented with arterial compromise due to superior mesenteric thromboembolism, resulting in bowel ischemia. Also, 6 patients (19.3%) demonstrated occlusive thrombosis of the portal system and superior mesenteric vein. More than two-thirds of patients (20, 64.5%) required laparotomy and bowel resection. Eventually, five (16.1%) patients were discharged, of whom four cases (12.9%) readmitted. Five (16.1%) patients remained ICU hospitalized at the report time and 12 (38.7%) patients died.
conclusionMacrovascular arterial/venous thrombosis is identified in almost half of COVID-19 patients with bowel ischemia. Overall mortality in COVID-19 patients with GI ischemia and radiologically evident mesenteric thrombotic occlusion was 38.7% and 40%, retrospectively.
