Analysis of clinical characteristics of 117 cases of ischemic colitis.
Article in BMC gastroenterology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
objectiveIschemic colitis (IC) represents a significant gastrointestinal condition requiring precise clinical characterization. This study aimed to analyze the clinical features and risk factors associated with IC through a comprehensive retrospective analysis of 117 cases.
methodsWe conducted a retrospective analysis of patients diagnosed with IC at the Department of Gastroenterology, Second People's Hospital of Anhui Province, from December 2019 to December 2024. Clinical data were systematically collected and analyzed for patient characteristics and associated risk factors.
resultsFrom 136 initially identified cases, 117 met the inclusion criteria (91 females, 26 males; female-to-male ratio 3.5:1). The mean age was 65.2 ± 13.6 years, with 65.8% of patients aged ≥ 60 years. Underlying disease were present in 86 patients, predominantly hypertension, cerebrovascular disease, type 2 diabetes mellitus, and coronary artery disease. Medication history was significant in 69 patients, with antihypertensive, antiplatelet, statin, and hypoglycemic agents being most common. The primary presenting symptom in 81 patients (69.2%) was abdominal pain accompanied by hematochezia. Clinical staging analysis revealed significant associations with elevated neutrophil counts, increased C-reactive protein(CRP) levels, positive computed tomography findings, and CAR (C-reactive protein to albumin ratio) values. Age-stratified analysis demonstrated significant correlations with underlying disease.
conclusionOur findings demonstrate that IC predominantly affects elderly females and preferentially involves the left hemicolon. The condition shows strong associations with cardiovascular and metabolic comorbidities and their corresponding medications. The CAR ratio (≥ 0.335) may serve as a potential marker for mild to moderate IC, warranting further investigation as a prognostic indicator.
