Superior Mesenteric Vein Thrombosis Complicating Acute Alcohol-Induced Pancreatitis.
Article in Cureus, 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
Splanchnic vein thrombosis (SVT) is an uncommon but clinically significant complication of acute pancreatitis, attributed to local inflammation and a transient hypercoagulable state. Superior mesenteric vein (SMV) thrombosis is particularly concerning because of its association with bowel ischemia and long-term portal venous complications. Optimal management strategies remain incompletely defined, particularly regarding the role and timing of anticoagulation. We report the case of a 36-year-old woman with acute alcohol-induced pancreatitis complicated by non-occlusive SMV thrombosis extending toward the portal vein. The diagnosis was established using contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) and confirmed by magnetic resonance imaging. The patient was successfully treated with unfractionated heparin followed by transition to a direct oral anticoagulant, with clinical and biochemical improvement. This case highlights the importance of early recognition of vascular complications in acute pancreatitis and supports consideration of anticoagulation in carefully selected patients to prevent thrombus progression and potential ischemic complications.
