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

Wilkie's syndrome is a very rare vascular alteration caused by congenital or acquired reduction of space between the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) and aorta. In acquired form, it is caused by perivascular adipose tissue reduction due to rapid weight loss and, if symptomatic, causes postprandial vomiting and weight loss. The left renal vein (LRV) when it has a retro-aortic course can be compressed in aorto-vertebral space (AVS); if the stenosis is severe it can cause venous congestion symptoms with left flank pain, microhematuria, and thrombosis, this vascular alteration is known as a pseudo-nutcracker syndrome. The combination of Wilkie's and pseudo-nutcracker's syndrome (PNCS) is very rare and has not yet been described in the literature. We describe a case of a 62-year-old woman who presented symptoms and alterations typical of two syndromes.
