Robot Assisted Laparoscopy for Median Arcuate Ligament Syndrome Relief.
Article in EJVES vascular forum, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Objective: To evaluate the outcomes of robot assisted laparoscopic surgery for median arcuate ligament syndrome (MALS) relief. Methods: This was a single centre and retrospective study, including all consecutive patients with symptomatic MALS treated with robot assisted laparoscopic surgery. Symptom relief and quality of life (QoL) were evaluated post-operatively. A comparison between the peak systolic velocity (PSV) of the coeliac artery (CA) measured pre-operatively and post-operatively was carried out. Results: Nine interventions were performed. No conversion to laparotomy was required. There was post-operative abdominal pain relief in eight patients and QoL was improved in seven patients. Post-operatively, the CA PSV decreased (175 (IQR 160 - 195) cm/s Conclusion: MALS relief with robot assisted laparoscopy is safe and provides satisfactory outcomes in terms of symptom relief and CA compression release.
