Acute mesenteric ischemia in older adults: clinical profiles, management patterns, and outcomes in medical and surgical settings.
Observational study in European geriatric medicine, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
aimTo evaluate the clinical profile, management, and outcomes of patients hospitalized with acute mesenteric ischemia (AMI). Secondary objectives were to identify factors associated with surgical intervention and in-hospital mortality in this patient population.
methodsWe conducted a retrospective multicenter study including 693 adult patients diagnosed with AMI across 10 hospitals in Southern Spain between 2010 and 2020. Data collected included demographics, comorbidities, functional status, treatment strategies, and outcomes.
resultsA total of 693 patients were studied, 360 (54.2%) were women. The median age was 77.8 years; 85.8% were aged ≥ 65 years, and 31.8% were ≥ 85 years. In-hospital mortality was 62.4%, increasing to 70.1% among the very old people. A total of 62.6% of patients were admitted to Internal Medicine departments; these patients were older, more functionally dependent (57.8%), and more likely to have dementia (24.9%) than those admitted elsewhere. Only 18.5% underwent surgery. Baseline functional (OR 4.54; 95% CI 1.45-14.22; p = 0.009) and male sex (OR 2.64; 95% CI 1.12-6.22; p = 0.027). were the strongest predictor of surgical intervention. Older age was the strongest independence variabile related to mortality (OR 1.70; 95% CI 1.09-2.64; p = 0.020).
conclusionsAMI is a severe abdominal emergency that primarily affects older adults. Its nonspecific presentation often delays diagnosis, contributing to high mortality. Early detection and multidisciplinary management, involving internists and geriatricians, are key to improving prognosis and guiding treatment decisions aligned with patients' overall goals and functional status.
