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

purposeTo present a unique case of vascular supply to the gastrointestinal organs as anatomical variants have variable clinical implications and must be recognized to avoid adverse outcomes.

methodsDescribe the embryological origin of vascular supply of gastrointestinal organs and present a few variants described in the literature.

resultsOn angiogram, patient was found to have total colonic supply via the inferior mesenteric artery. This is a rare anatomical variant which altered management in this child with massive lower gastrointestinal bleed due to sacral neuroblastoma metastasis and mucormycosis colitis.

conclusionVascular anatomic variants have clinical implications that can alter management.
