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

purposeThe duodenum and the left renal vein (LRV) occupy the vascular angle made by the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) and the aorta. When the angle becomes too acute, compression of either structure can occur. Although superior mesenteric artery syndrome (SMAS) and renal Nutcracker syndrome (NCS) share the same pathogenesis, concurrent development has rarely been reported. CASE REPORT: A 38-year-old female patient with a past history of gastrojejunostomy operated 6 years ago due to SMAS. She referred to vascular clinic with sever intermittent left-sided loin pain during the last 6 years. Computed tomography (CT)-angiogram and selective LRV angiogram with pressure gradient confirmed the diagnosis of NCS. She was treated by LRV transposition with uneventful recovery and considerable relief of symptoms.

conclusionsNCS accompanying with SMAS is quite unusual. A patient, who first presents with clinical evidence of SMAS, could also simultaneously or sometime thereafter present with NCS and vice versa.
