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 syndrome also known as Wilkie's syndrome (WS) and Nutcracker syndrome (NCS) are 2 rare vascular syndromes characterized by the reduction of the aortomesenteric space. In the WS the reduction of the aortomesenteric angle leads to compression of the third portion of the duodenum. In the NCS the reduced aortomesenteric space usually causes a left renal vein (LVR) entrapment and the clinical presentation is a left flank pain, micro/macrohematuria and proteinuria. Arterial hypertension can be an unusual manifestation of the NCS. Herein, we describe the case of a 37-year-old woman with a history of breast cancer and abdominal subocclusion, with a recent onset of arterial hypertension whose enhanced computed tomography (CT) showed a reduced angle between the abdominal aorta and superior mesenteric artery with the CT findings of both the WS and NCS.
