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

rationaleThe main complication of the portal vein (PV) and superior mesenteric vein (SMV) thrombosis is intestinal infarction due to acute intestinal ischemia. However, in a small number of cases, chronic ischemia-induced bowel stenosis also occurs, and there are no published articles with a comprehensive literature review on this late complication. Therefore, we aimed to clarify the progression and clinical features of intestinal stenosis which is caused by thrombosis of the PV and SMV, and to share therapeutic experience. PATIENT CONCERNS: We report 4 cases of ischemic intestinal stenosis occurring 4-8 weeks after successful treatment of PV and SMV thrombosis, and retrospectively analyzed the literature from 1990 to July 2024 for relevant cases to report. DIAGNOSES: All 4 patients were admitted to the hospital due to abdominal pain and were diagnosed with ischemic intestinal stenosis complicated with PV and SMV thrombosis through imaging studies.

interventionsThe 4 patients received thrombolytic and anticoagulant therapy due to PV and SMV thrombosis. Subsequently, they underwent partial small bowel resection and double enterostomy because of the development of intestinal stenosis. OUTCOMES: Postoperative follow-up was conducted for the patients. Three patients underwent enterostomy reduction with a favorable prognosis, while 1 patient was lost to follow-up. LESSONS: Patients with PV and SMV thrombosis should receive prompt anticoagulant or interventional therapy. In addition, closer follow-up should be carried out to ensure an earlier diagnosis of ischemic intestinal stenosis, leading to more timely treatment and a better prognosis.
