Celiac trunk thrombosis in a patient with antiphospholipid syndrome induced by median arcuate ligament compression: a case presentation and literature review.
Review in Rheumatology international, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Median arcuate ligament syndrome (MALS) is a rare disorder caused by the compression of the celiac axis by the fibrous structure of the diaphragm called the median arcuate ligament. Patients with MALS are usually undiagnosed unless characteristic symptoms such as nausea and vomiting, postprandial pain, and weight loss are presented. We report a case of a 29-year-old patient diagnosed with MALS and secondary antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) that developed celiac trunk, common hepatic artery and splenic artery thrombosis. There is not enough information on MALS as a trigger of thrombosis in predisposed patients such as those with APS. However, the case gives rise to suspicion and highlights the diagnostic processes, especially for patients with APS presenting postprandial abdominal pain and weight loss. This review likewise aims at the importance of Doppler ultrasonography as a screening tool and computer tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance (MR) both in the angiography variant, especially to diagnose confirmation and underlying treatment options.
