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

Isolated spontaneous superior mesenteric artery dissection (ISMAD) is an extremely rare condition with a wide range of vague clinical presentations. Notably, ISMAD is a very uncommon cause of abdominal pain and can be fatal, resulting in life-threatening complications. Therefore, this condition should not be missed and appropriately managed. Here, we report the case of a 51-year-old male presenting with severe epigastric pain who was found to have superior mesenteric artery dissection on a CT scan of the abdomen. He was managed successfully with a conservative approach, which included bowel rest, beta-blockers, and anticoagulants.
