Pylephlebitis With Reversible Mesenteric Ischemia in a Patient With Complicated Acute Appendicitis: A Case Report.
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
Pylephlebitis is a rare complication of intra-abdominal and pelvic infections, occurring in the context of conditions such as acute appendicitis and diverticulitis, among others. It consists of septic thrombophlebitis of the portal vein and/or its tributary branches. Early diagnosis of this condition is crucial to prevent serious complications like sepsis and mesenteric ischemia. Contrast-enhanced abdominal CT scan is the test of choice for diagnosis and for evaluating potential complications, and the correct interpretation of radiological findings is essential to avoid unnecessary interventions. This case report describes an adult patient with pylephlebitis secondary to acute appendicitis and a rare association with mesenteric-colonic ischemia. The patient had a favorable outcome following treatment with antibiotics and anticoagulants, and the ischemia was reversible. The report emphasizes the radiological findings.
