Superior Mesenteric Artery Syndrome: a Prospective Study in a Single Institution.
Article in Journal of gastrointestinal surgery : official journal of the Society for Surgery of the Alimentary Tract, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03416647 (Superior Mesenteric Artery Syndrome), which is not on this map. Cited by 32 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.

Abstract
backgroundSuperior mesenteric artery syndrome (SMAS) is a rare cause of duodenal obstruction, resulting from the compression of the duodenum between superior mesenteric artery and aorta. This prospective registry aims to describe demographic, clinical, and outcome features of patients suffering from SMAS and to point out the indications for surgery.
methodsBetween 2008 and 2016, patients with chronic gastrointestinal symptoms and diagnosis of SMAS were included. Demographics, clinical presentation, diagnosis, and surgical outcome were recorded. Symptoms were investigated with a standardized questionnaire. The diagnosis was achieved through barium swallow, CT/MR angiography (aortomesenteric angle ≤ 22°, distance ≤ 8 mm), endoscopy. All patients underwent duodenojejunostomy ± distal duodenum resection. At follow-up, symptom score and barium swallow were re-evaluated.
resultsThirty-nine patients (11 M/28 F, median age 38 years, median BMI 17.8 kg/m
conclusionsSMAS is a rare condition that should be suspected in cases of chronic, refractory upper digestive symptoms, particularly in females with low BMIs. Surgical treatment may improve symptoms and quality of life, although it is not curative in all cases. ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT03416647.
