1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Gastrointestinal complications sometimes occur after lung transplantation and remain a cause of postoperative morbidity. Superior mesenteric artery syndrome is caused by the compression of the duodenum by the superior mesenteric artery, but few reports have described superior mesenteric artery syndrome after lung transplantation. We herein report two cases of superior mesenteric artery syndrome as an early complication after lung transplantation. Both patients were emaciated and had lost weight before transplantation. They also lost an additional 2-4 kg early after transplantation. They were medically treated with enteral nutrition and recovered without recurrence of the syndrome. Since critically ill patients with pulmonary disease usually lose weight both before and early after lung transplantation, superior mesenteric artery syndrome is important to consider in the differential diagnosis of gastrointestinal complications after transplantation.
