Expect the Unexpected: A Rare Case of Isolated Superior Mesenteric Artery Vasculitis.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Vasculitis of the mesenteric vessels is considered rare and typically occurs as a part of systemic inflammation. Isolated mesenteric artery vasculitis without systemic involvement is rarely reported in the literature. Clinical presentation is usually nonspecific which can range from abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting to gangrene and intestinal perforation in severe cases. Recognizing mesenteric artery vasculitis as a potential cause of abdominal pain can be challenging, and delay in diagnosis can lead to significant mortality and morbidity. Herein, we present a case of a 19-year-old male who initially presented with abdominal pain. Later, isolated superior mesenteric artery (SMA) vasculitis was confirmed by CT angiography. Treatment with systemic steroids alone resulted in a marked improvement in the patient's symptoms as well as in radiographic findings.
