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

introductionChronic mesenteric ischemia (CMI) is usually caused by atherosclerotic stenosis of multiple mesenteric arteries. However, aortic stenosis secondary to Takayasu arteritis can rarely cause intestinal ischemia through hemodynamic steal from the mesenteric to lower limb circulation. CASE PRESENTATION: A 67-year-old woman with a history of Takayasu arteritis presented with postprandial and exertional abdominal pain and a 3-kg weight loss over 2 weeks. CTA revealed isolated severe stenosis of the infrarenal aorta with development of the arc of Riolan, and Doppler ultrasonography demonstrated retrograde flow in the inferior mesenteric artery. Based on these findings, a diagnosis of mesenteric steal syndrome secondary to Takayasu arteritis was made. Endovascular stenting of the infrarenal aorta was performed, resulting in improved antegrade aortic flow and reduced collateral circulation. After treatment, the patient's abdominal pain resolved and her weight recovered.

conclusionsThis rare case demonstrates that Takayasu arteritis can cause mesenteric steal syndrome without mesenteric arterial lesions and highlights that endovascular stenting can effectively restore physiological blood flow and relieve ischemic symptoms.
