Acute Mesenteric Ischemia Mimicking Severe COVID-19 Pneumonia: A Case Report on Diagnostic Challenges and Management.

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
This article demonstrates the need for abdominal imaging in COVID-19 patients with systemic symptoms in the differential diagnosis of acute mesenteric ischemia and critical COVID-19 pneumonia. We detail the case of a 91-year-old man, initially diagnosed with severe COVID-19 pneumonia, who was later found to have acute mesenteric ischemia through abdominal CT imaging, despite lacking typical abdominal symptoms. Abdominal CT revealed intramural and portal emphysema, leading to a diagnosis of acute mesenteric ischemia. Given the patient's advanced age and poor condition, supportive care was chosen, with the patient passing away 12 hours post-admission. This case highlights the critical need for comprehensive evaluation, including abdominal imaging, in COVID-19 patients with systemic symptoms to identify other serious conditions like acute mesenteric ischemia, especially in the absence of specific abdominal pain. Early detection is vital for appropriate management and improved patient outcomes.
