A case of superior mesenteric artery embolism successfully treated by combined thrombus retrieval therapy using the CAPTIVE technique.

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
Acute superior mesenteric artery (SMA) embolism is potentially fatal if intestinal necrosis develops, and prompt revascularization is essential. Although thrombolytic therapy and aspiration thrombectomy are commonly employed, thrombolysis is contraindicated in patients with hemorrhagic lesions. We report the application of the continuous aspiration prior to intracranial vascular embolectomy (CAPTIVE) technique in an elderly woman with acute SMA embolism complicated by hemorrhagic stroke. Mechanical thrombectomy using a React 71 aspiration catheter and Solitaire stent retriever was performed under proximal balloon flow control. Staged thrombectomy of the jejunal and ileal branches achieved wide recanalization with a limited number of passes, avoiding intestinal necrosis. This case highlights the feasibility of adapting an established neuroendovascular technique to visceral arterial occlusion. The CAPTIVE technique may represent a minimally invasive alternative in selected patients in whom thrombolytic therapy is not indicated.
