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

Vascular compression syndromes represent a group of rare and poorly understood diseases. Dunbar syndrome (DS) is caused by the median arcuate ligament of diaphragm originating lower than normal and causing compression of celiac artery. The Nutcracker is caused by the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) originating from aorta at an acute angle causing a restriction of aortomesenteric space that is traversed by the left renal vein and duodenum; if the compression involves only the left renal vein and becomes symptomatic it is called Nutcracker syndrome; if the symptomatic compression involves only the duodenum it is called Wilkie's syndrome or SMA syndrome. The knowledge of these rare pathologies is essential to reduce the false negatives which still remain very high; it is, therefore, necessary to promote greater knowledge as the lack of diagnosis can be very dangerous for the patient's health. We describe a rare case of a combination of DS, Nutcracker, and SMA or Wilkie's syndrome in a young patient.
