Spontaneous Celiac Artery Dissection With Severe Pain Disproportionate to Lack of Prominent Tenderness and Limited Diagnostic Value of D-dimer and C-reactive Protein: A Case Report and Literature Review.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Spontaneous celiac artery dissection (SCAD) typically presents with acute abdominal or back pain, although some patients are asymptomatic. We report a case of a 75-year-old woman who experienced sudden severe epigastric pain; SCAD was diagnosed using contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT). Conservative management resolved her symptoms. A literature review of 256 SCAD cases, including ours, revealed that most cases exhibit a sudden or acute onset and severe pain disproportionate to mild or absent tenderness, with normal D-dimer and C-reactive protein levels. These findings highlight the importance of considering SCAD in cases of unexplained severe abdominal pain, warranting contrast-enhanced CT imaging even when the laboratory results are normal.
