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

There is limited information on the natural history of superior mesenteric vein (SMV) aneurysms. SMV aneurysms have the risk of aneurysm rupture due to enlargement and liver dysfunction caused by recurrent embolism. There have been a few reports of SMV aneurysms, but no clear guidelines exist regarding the management of SMV aneurysms. We report a case associated with 'silent' embolism of the intrahepatic portal vein without any clinical symptoms, which could be a part of its natural history. Accumulation of more cases is needed to more accurately understand the natural history of this rare disease.
