Incidence and clinical presentation of bowel ischaemia after aortoiliac surgery--2930 operations from a population-based registry in Sweden.
Article in European journal of vascular and endovascular surgery : the official journal of the European Society for Vascular Surgery, 1996. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
objectivesTo study the incidence and clinical presentation of intestinal ischaemia after aortoiliac/femoral surgery, and to validate a vascular registry concerning a serious complication. DESIGN AND
settingIn the Swedish Vascular Registry (SWEDVASC) the outcome and complications of all vascular procedures are registered prospectively. MATERIALS AND
methodsAll 2930 patients operated in 1987-93 were analysed for notified complications. A 5% random sample of all patients and a 20% random sample of fatal cases were analysed for un-notified complications. Of 415 requested patient records 413 were analysed.
resultsThe estimated incidence of bowel ischaemia was 2.8%. Among patients operated on for a ruptured aneurysm in shock it was 7.3%. Of the 63 patients with intestinal ischaemia only 15 presented with early passage of bloody stools. In 60 patients (95%) the lesion affected the left colon within the reach of a sigmoidoscope. Bowel ischemia was unnotified only in fatal cases, the estimated un-notified complication rate was 0.7%.
conclusionsThe incidence in this study on unselected patients did not differ from previous reports from specialised centres. Diagnosis is difficult and justifies a high index of suspicion and early use of sigmoidoscopy. The validity of the SWEDVASC registry was confirmed by a high report-rate for this complication.
