Provoked Mesenteric Venous Thrombosis Following Emergent Appendectomy: A Case Report.

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.
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
Mesenteric venous thrombosis (MVT) is a rare, life-threatening condition characterized by the formation of a thrombus in the mesenteric venous system. MVT has been reported as a rare complication of laparoscopic surgery and oral contraceptive (OC) use; however, literature remains limited on a reported case highlighting the combinatorial effect of these two independent risk factors in provoking an MVT. We present the case of a 48-year-old female patient taking oral contraceptives who presented with nonspecific abdominal symptoms and unremarkable physical examination findings following an uneventful emergent laparoscopic appendectomy eleven days prior. Computed tomography (CT) angiography revealed extensive superior mesenteric venous thrombosis. No signs of bowel ischemia were present, and the patient was successfully treated with anticoagulant therapy. This report underscores the importance of clinical vigilance for mesenteric venous thrombosis in patients taking oral contraceptives who present with nonspecific abdominal pain following emergent abdominal surgery.
