Article in Oxford medical case reports, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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
Cast syndrome, commonly known as superior mesenteric artery (SMA) syndrome is a rare cause of small bowel obstruction caused by compression of third part of duodenum from narrowing of the angle between superior mesenteric artery and abdominal aorta resulting in symptoms of duodenal outflow obstruction. A 46-year-old male presented with acute worsening of chronic abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting aggravated with eating. Computed tomography of abdomen and pelvis revealed the dilatation of gastric and proximal duodenum due to compression of third part of duodenum between superior mesenteric artery and aorta. Conservative management with total parental nutrition failed and patient underwent gastrojejunostomy with relief of his symptoms. Cast syndrome is a rare condition but should be kept in mind in patients with abdominal pain, vomiting, early satiety and weight loss. CT abdomen usually reveals the diagnosis but upper GI endoscopy helps to rule out other causes of duodenal obstruction and gastric dilatation.
