Superior Mesenteric Vein Thrombosis: A Case Report Highlighting the Importance of Diagnostic Challenges and Successful Medical Management.
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
Superior mesenteric vein thrombosis (SMVT) is a rare intestinal condition associated with potentially devastating outcomes if not promptly diagnosed and treated. This condition presents with nonspecific or atypical symptoms, making early recognition challenging and often leading to delays in management. This study discusses a 47-year-old physically active male with seminoma in remission in the past, who presented with abdominal bloating and pressure. Computed tomography (CT) revealed extensive SMVT. A heparin drip was initiated and later switched to apixaban, resulting in complete resolution of the abdominal pain and stabilization of the thrombus. This case report underscores the importance of recognizing unusual presentations of SMVT, highlights the vital role of advanced imaging techniques, such as contrast-enhanced CT, in accurate diagnosis, and demonstrates the effectiveness of anticoagulant therapy in successful medical management.
