Olmesartan-Induced Ischemic Enteritis Complicated With Bowel Perforation: A Case Report and Literature Review.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Olmesartan is a relatively new angiotensin receptor blocker used widely to control hypertension. Cases have been reported previously of enteropathy induced by olmesartan. Here, the authors report a case of olmesartan-induced ischemic enteritis complicated by bowel perforation. A 52-year-old male patient, during the treatment with olmesartan, developed severe abdominal pain of five-day duration. He underwent exploratory laparotomy for bowel perforation and surgical resection of the ischemic bowel segment. On a two-month follow-up after the discontinuation of olmesartan and the emergency surgery, the patient was symptom-free and functioning well. This rare report focuses on ischemic enteritis associated with olmesartan, describes the symptoms, and records the progression of this side effect and the corresponding treatment. Our case aims to raise awareness amongst physicians about the possibility of this severe complication and to point out that more research is still needed on its pathophysiology to better understand this drug.
