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

Congenitally absent superior mesenteric artery is an extremely rare anatomic anomaly with only one other case reported in an adult. We have described an elderly patient who presented with complete absence of the superior mesenteric artery found incidentally on computed tomography imaging. The patient had no abdominal pain, nausea, or other gastrointestinal symptoms. An abnormally enlarged inferior mesenteric artery provided collateral circulation to the midgut. No intervention was performed at the time given the patient's adequate circulation and lack of symptoms. The present case highlights consideration of anatomic mesenteric vascular anomalies before procedures involving inferior mesenteric artery ligation or coverage.
