Preoperative risk factors for 90-day postoperative mortality outcome in patients with non-occlusive mesenteric ischemia.

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
purposeThe mortality rate for non-occlusive mesenteric ischemia remains high even after patients survive the acute postoperative period with tremendous treatment efforts, including emergency surgery, which is challenging. The aim of this study was to explore the preoperative risk factors for 90-day postoperative mortality in patients with non-occlusive mesenteric ischemia.
methodsThis single-center, retrospective cohort study included patients diagnosed with non-occlusive mesenteric ischemia who underwent emergency surgery between August 2014 and January 2023. All patients were divided into survival-to-discharge and mortality outcome groups at the 90-day postoperative follow-up. Preoperative factors, including comorbidities, preoperative status of vital signs and consciousness, blood gas analysis, blood test results, and computed tomography, were compared between the two groups.
resultsTwenty patients were eligible, and 90-day mortality was observed in 10 patients (50%). The mortality outcome group had significantly lower HCO3- (20.9 vs. 14.6, p = 0.006) and higher lactate (4.4 vs. 9.4, p = 0.023) levels than did the survival outcome group. The median postoperative time to death was 19 [2-69] days, and five patients (50%) died after postoperative day 30, mainly because hemodialysis was discontinued because of hemodynamic instability in patients requiring hemodialysis.
conclusionLow preoperative HCO3- and high lactate levels may be preoperative risk factors for 90-day postoperative mortality in patients with non-occlusive mesenteric ischemia. However, patients on hemodialysis die from discontinuing hemodialysis even after surviving the acute postoperative phase. Therefore, indications for emergency surgery in patients with risk factors for postoperative mortality should be carefully determined.
