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

Superior mesenteric artery (SMA) syndrome, compression of the duodenum due to a decreased angle between the aorta and SMA, has a wide range of clinical presentations making it difficult to diagnose. Compression of the left renal vein is known as Nutcracker syndrome. We present the case of a 26-year-old male with a delayed diagnosis of SMA syndrome and Nutcracker phenomenon due to the patient's history of chronic pancreatitis. As a result of his obstruction and aspiration pneumonia, he was diagnosed with septic shock. The patient was treated for septic shock and maintained on an enteric diet with improvement in the body mass index and complete resolution of SMA syndrome symptoms.
