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

Non-occlusive mesenteric ischaemia (NOMI) refers to irreversible intestinal ischaemia and necrosis in the absence of organic obstruction to the mesenteric blood vessels. In cases of delayed diagnosis, the prognosis is poor and the mortality rate is 58-70%, being the highest among patients with acute mesenteric ischaemia. The risk factors for this disease include heart disease, sepsis, and administration of catecholamines and digitalis; however, there are few reports of its onset during drug therapy for malignant tumours. The present study reported the case of an 85-year-old man who developed NOMI during drug therapy for maxillary cancer. The patient was diagnosed with right maxillary carcinoma, for which paclitaxel, carboplatin and cetuximab (PCE) therapy was administered. Four days after starting the second course of PCE therapy, the patient visited the emergency department of our hospital with chief complaints of melena and abdominal pain. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography revealed ischaemia from the transverse to the descending colon, leading to a diagnosis of NOMI. Colectomy and colostomy were performed during the emergency surgery on the same day. Although the patient's general condition improved, he was transferred to a recuperation facility for palliative care.
