Supradiaphragmatic origin of the celiac trunk leading to median arcuate ligament syndrome with superior mesenteric artery involvement.
Article in Journal of vascular surgery cases and innovative techniques, 2024. 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
Median arcuate ligament (MAL) syndrome (MALS) is a rare condition caused by compression of the celiac artery by the MAL. Symptoms include abdominal pain, nausea, and weight loss. Rarely, the MAL can compress both the celiac artery and the superior mesenteric artery (SMA). We describe the case of a young man with MALS involving the celiac artery and SMA. Laparoscopic release of the MAL was performed, and the patient had resolution of his symptoms at 6 months of follow-up. A review of the literature identified only six cases of MALS involving the SMA and celiac artery, making this a rare occurrence.
