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

Acute mesenteric ischemia (AMI) is typically treated by open surgery or hybrid techniques. Catheter-based aspiration thrombectomy represents another minimally invasive alternative with a potential additional safety benefit of minimizing the bleeding risk associated with thrombolytics. In this institutional case series, we present five clinical cases of aspiration thrombectomy for high-risk AMI using the Penumbra aspiration system. All patients underwent technically successful endovascular thrombectomy as demonstrated by intraoperative angiography results. However, bowel necrosis and sepsis adversely affected postoperative outcomes. Lack of intraoperative bowel assessment is a limitation of endovascular methods, highlighting the importance of patient selection.
