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

aimThis research is both a case study and a systematic literature review. Our goal was to learn more about the pathophysiology, clinical features, and therapy options for idiopathic mesenteric phlebosclerosis (IMP).

methodsA case of IMP was treated by surgery in our department. Combined with the data of 240 cases of IMP retrieved from PubMed and Wanfang Data, we conducted a systematic review of this less well-known disease.

resultsThese 240 cases of IMP mainly occurred in East Asia. Among the patients, 78.7% of them had a history of herbal medicine consumption; 15.2% had no obvious symptoms and their diagnosis was confirmed through characteristic CT findings and colonoscopic manifestations; 58.4% were cured by conservative treatment; 41.6% had severe symptoms and underwent surgical treatment. Additionally, more patients treated with surgical treatment had lesions involving the cecum (59/82 vs. 53/115,

conclusionThe occurrence of IMP is associated with the long-term consumption of herbal medicines. Early diagnosis of IMP could be determined by CT and colonoscopy and conservative or surgical treatment was chosen based on of the severity of the condition (e.g., the involved bowel segment).
