Idiopathic superior mesenteric venous thrombosis requiring bowel resection: a report of four cases.
Article in Surgical case reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundSuperior mesenteric venous thrombosis (SMVT) is mostly treated with anticoagulation therapy; however, SMVT can lead to irreversible bowel ischemia and require bowel resection in the acute or subacute phase. CASE PRESENTATION: We report four cases of SMVT that required careful observation and bowel resection. Case 1: A 71-year-old man presented with abdominal pain, diarrhea, and vomiting that showed a completely occluded SMV with thrombus and small bowel ischemia. Case 2: A 47-year-old man presented with abdominal pain, peritoneal irritation symptoms, and a completely occluded SMV with thrombus, ischemia of the small bowel, and massive ascites. Case 3: A 68-year-old man presented with abdominal pain and vomiting for several days and showed a partially occluded SMV with a thrombus, bowel ischemia, and massive ascites. Case 4: A 68-year-old man presented with acute abdominal pain and a partially occluded SMV with thrombus and bowel edema without ischemic changes. Anticoagulation therapy was administered; however, 3 days later, abdominal pain and bowel ischemia worsened. Bowel resection was performed in all cases.
conclusionsMost idiopathic SMVT cases can be treated with anticoagulation therapy or endovascular thrombectomy. However, in cases with peritoneal irritation signs, these treatments may be ineffective, and bowel resection may be required.
