Giant dissecting aneurysm of the superior mesenteric artery with distal branch involvement and true lumen collapse: a case report.
Article in Frontiers in medicine, 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
Background: Isolated superior mesenteric artery dissecting aneurysm (ISMADA) is rare and may lead to fatal outcomes. This case report presents the surgical management of a patient with a giant ISMADA complicated by suspected impending rupture. Case presentation: A 70-year-old man was admitted with a 2-year history of intermittent abdominal pain that had worsened over the preceding 2 days. Examination revealed a 5 × 5 cm pulsatile periumbilical mass with tenderness and mild lower abdominal tenderness with questionable rebound. Computed tomography angiography showed a 4.8 cm isolated superior mesenteric artery dissecting aneurysm involving distal branches, with severe true lumen compression. Laboratory tests showed mild leukocytosis. Emergency resection of the aneurysm with prosthetic graft reconstruction of the superior mesenteric artery was performed in a hybrid operating room. Postoperative angiography confirmed graft patency. The patient resumed oral intake on postoperative day 4 and was discharged uneventfully on day 8. At 30-month follow-up, he remained asymptomatic without abdominal or gastrointestinal complaints. Conclusion: Although rare, isolated superior mesenteric artery dissection can progress to aneurysmal degeneration, rupture, and hemorrhage. Most uncomplicated ISMAD cases can be managed conservatively, and endovascular therapy is feasible in anatomically suitable patients; however, open surgical repair remains indispensable in selected complex cases.
