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

Ischemic enteritis (IE) is characterized by blood flow insufficient to meet metabolic demands. The incidence of IE is increasing owing to the aging population and advancements in radiographic and endoscopic diagnostics. Many patients eventually require surgical management, indicating an irreversible and progressive pathology. Therefore, clear definitions, early diagnosis, and tailored treatments are crucial. Herein, we report three patients with ileal strictures caused by IE who were successfully treated with surgical resection. In all three cases, the stricture was segmental and located within 50 cm from the ileocecal valve, which is a characteristic radiological feature of IE. Histological analysis revealed segmental, circumferential ulcers with inflammatory-cell infiltration, and fibrosis, although the presentation may vary with the disease phase. Clinicians and surgeons should consider IE in patients with small bowel obstruction and segmental strictures without apparent acute ischemia, especially in older patients with severe comorbidities such as hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, or thromboembolic diseases.
