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

Computed tomography (CT) is widely used in diagnosing acute mesenteric ischemia (AMI), but robust identification of distinctive subtypes and stages of progression is lacking. Systematic literature search in PubMed, Cochrane Library, Web of Science and Scopus was conducted in May 2024. Studies including at least 10 adult patients and reporting radiological diagnosis of AMI versus no AMI or transmural ischemia versus no transmural ischemia were included. Meta-analyses on sensitivity and specificity of different radiological features in diagnosing AMI were conducted. From 2628 titles, 490 studies underwent full text review, and 81 were included in 14 meta-analyses. Diagnostic accuracy of CT angiography (CTA) was high - sensitivity of 92.0% and specificity of 98.8% (I
