Superior mesenteric artery syndrome treatment strategies: A case report.
Article in SAGE open medical case reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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 is a rare manifestation of small bowel obstruction caused by the compressed third part of the duodenum between the superior mesenteric artery and the abdominal aorta. We present the case of an 18-year-old female and presented with symptoms of duodenal outflow obstruction. Upon investigation, her cross-sectional imaging revealed partial obstruction of the distal duodenum at the crossing of superior mesenteric artery forming an acute angle between the superior mesenteric artery and aorta. Failing initial attempts at conservative management, the patient underwent laparotomy and duodenojejunostomy with complete relief of symptoms. Superior mesenteric artery syndrome is a rare but a sinister diagnosis in patients presenting with features of duodenal outflow obstruction. Cross-sectional imaging plays an important role in diagnosis.
