Evaluation of Imaging Modalities for Superior Mesenteric Artery Stenosis: A Single Centre Study.

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
Introduction: To evaluate intra-arterial pressure measurement (IAPM) in relation to pre- and intra-operative diagnostic methods for assessing superior mesenteric artery (SMA) stenosis in patients with a diagnosis of chronic mesenteric ischaemia. Method: This secondary analysis compares computed tomography angiography (CTA), duplex ultrasound (DUS), digital subtraction angiography (DSA), and IAPM, using IAPM as the reference standard. Thirty patients were enrolled in the Copenhagen Mesenteric Stent Study (COMESS), a randomised clinical trial evaluating covered Results: There was a statistically significant positive correlation between DUS and IAPM ( Conclusion: DUS shows the best association with IAPM when differentiating a significant SMA stenosis. In contrast, CTA demonstrated no significant correlation with IAPM; however, CTA is of importance for differential diagnosis. Therefore, when SMA stenosis is identified on CTA, further confirmation with DUS is recommended, for moderate to less than pre-occlusive or occlusive SMA stenosis, to determine the need for DSA and potential endovascular treatment.
