The preoperative SOFA score and remnant small intestine length are postoperative risk factors for mortality in patients with non-occlusive mesenteric ischemia: a case-control study.

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
Aim: Non-occlusive mesenteric ischemia (NOMI) is a fatal condition with a low survival rate in most cases. The risk factors for perioperative mortality in NOMI cases are unclear. The purpose of this study was to define the risk factors for mortality in patients with NOMI undergoing surgery. Methods: Thirty-eight consecutive patients who underwent surgery for NOMI at Teine Keijinkai Hospital between 2012 and 2020 were included in the study. Patient information, including age, sex, physical findings, comorbidities, laboratory data, and computed tomography and surgical findings were retrospectively analyzed. Results: Of the 38 patients, 18 (47%) died before discharge. Significant univariate predictors of mortality were a high Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score, high lactate level, low blood pH, and short intestinal length after surgery. In the multivariate analysis, a high SOFA score (odds ratio 1.33, Conclusion: The preoperative SOFA score and postoperative residual intestinal length may be predictors of death in NOMI surgical patients, not age and the content of comorbidities.
