Superior mesenteric artery syndrome: A review of the literature.
Article in Journal of the American College of Emergency Physicians open, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Decreased intraabdominal fat can lead to intraabdominal compressive syndromes, such as superior mesenteric artery (SMA) syndrome. This phenomenon is rare but should be considered in a patient with recent rapid weight loss and acute gastrointestinal complaints. A delay in diagnosis and treatment can lead to severe complications, such as a gastric rupture. We report a case of SMA syndrome in a teenage male with recent intentional weight loss and intractable emesis, and the possible associations of SMA syndrome and Nutcracker syndrome.
