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

Objectives: We aimed to elucidate the long-term outcomes of acute symptomatic spontaneous isolated dissection of the superior mesenteric artery (SIDSMA) to inform optimal decision-making during the acute phase. Methods: We retrospectively collected and analyzed data from 14 consecutive patients diagnosed with SIDSMA by using computed tomography angiography (CTA) between January 2010 and August 2024. Results: The cohort comprised 13 males and 1 female, with a mean age of 59.36 ± 14.90 years. All patients presented with acute abdominal pain, and some experienced vomiting. Thirteen patients received conservative treatment, while only 1 patient underwent open surgery with extra-anatomical bypass; this patient required no further intervention 10 years postoperatively. One of the patients, whose abdominal pain worsened with food intake, showed SMA stenosis and decreased intestinal blood flow. His symptoms improved after heparin anticoagulation therapy followed by direct oral anticoagulant therapy. Over a follow-up period of 7.20 ± 3.21 years, none of the patients experienced recurrent SIDSMA-related abdominal pain, and all survived without the need for additional invasive treatment. Conclusions: Conservative treatment effectively manages SIDSMA over the long term without reintervention. Early diagnosis and management of intestinal ischemia are essential for optimal treatment outcomes.
