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

Celiac artery compression syndrome (CACS) is an uncommon and poorly understood condition. Compression of the celiac artery by the median arcuate ligament causes intractable postprandial abdominal pain, weight loss, vomiting, and nausea. We present a case of a 68-year-old male who suffered recurrent severe episodes of postprandial abdominal pain associated with occasional nausea, vomiting, and elevated blood pressure. The diagnostic workup was significant for celiac artery compression on computed tomography angiography. Diagnosis of CACS was made after the exclusion of the other possible pathologies, and the patient was referred to the surgical team for further management for median arcuate ligament release on an elective basis.
