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 and nutcracker syndrome are rare vascular complications most often seen after marked weight loss caused by compression of the duodenum and left renal vein between the superior mesenteric artery and the aorta, respectively. The coexistence of superior mesenteric artery syndrome and nutcracker syndrome has been rarely reported. Herein, we present the case of a 16-year-old male with intermittent periumbilical abdominal pain, bilious vomiting, and weight loss who was found to have both of these vascular complications of significant weight loss as the initial presentation of Crohn's disease. This report provides insight into the diagnosis and treatment of these syndromes while highlighting the importance for practitioners to keep vascular complications on their differential diagnosis of vomiting and abdominal pain in patients with Crohn's disease.
