Superior Mesenteric Artery Syndrome in an Adolescent Female with Anorexia Nervosa.
Article in Clinical medicine & research, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 syndrome (SMAS) is a rare condition that develops from compression of the duodenum between the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) and abdominal aorta. SMAS is an atypical complication of restrictive eating disorders. The SMA is supported by adipose tissue to create an aortomesenteric angle that varies from 25-60 degrees. A reduction in adipose tissue causes narrowing of this angle, and SMAS develops when the aortomesenteric angle is narrow enough that it compresses the distal duodenum passing through. Patients present with small bowel obstructive symptoms. We report a severe case of SMAS in an adolescent female with anorexia nervosa who presented with acute and chronic symptoms of bowel obstruction. Awareness of the association between SMAS and restrictive eating disorders can help guide clinical decision-making and prevent delay of diagnosis and serious complications.
