1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundMesenteric arterial thrombosis is an extremely rare thrombotic event, especially during pregnancy, that can cause rapid fatal consequences unless the patient receives early definitive treatment. CASE PRESENTATION: We report the case of a 34-year-old female presenting in her seventh week of gestation with severe abdominal pain who was promptly diagnosed with mesenteric artery occlusion amidst incipient miscarriage. The patient underwent a successful mesentery artery embolectomy, recovered and was later diagnosed with elevated factor VIII activity.

conclusionThe diagnosis of mesenteric ischemia should be considered in pregnant women presenting with severe abdominal pain and any prior predisposing factors. Our case highlights the pivotal role of the emergency physician in maintaining a high index of suspicion coupled with timely and determined action. The prognosis of this high mortality condition depends on prompt diagnosis, early definite management and successful multidisciplinary cooperation.
