Superior Mesenteric Artery Syndrome Masquerading As Irritable Bowel Syndrome: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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 (SMA) syndrome is a rare upper gastrointestinal problem characterized by narrowing the angle between the aorta and SMA. While the syndrome describes small bowel obstruction as a result of compression at the proximal duodenum, the nonspecific abdominal findings often obscure this diagnosis initially. We present a case of a 21-year-old female with persistent upper abdominal pain of unclear etiology, which was later diagnosed as SMA Syndrome and referred for surgical management. Nonspecific abdominal symptoms in a young female with weight loss and ambiguous laboratory and physical exam findings should increase the index of suspicion for SMA syndrome to mitigate the worsening of serious complications with early treatment.
