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 (SMAS) is a rare and potentially life-threatening cause of small bowel obstruction in which the superior mesenteric artery impinges on the third portion of the duodenum. SMAS is typically encountered in patients with low body fat and a history of rapid weight loss and is often diagnosed as a chronic or subacute condition. Here, we describe a case of a healthy adolescent boy without typical SMAS prodromal symptoms presenting with a severe, hyperacute proximal small bowel obstruction due to SMAS. Complications arising from massive gastric and duodenal distension, including gastric, pancreatic and renal ischaemia, necessitated emergent surgical intervention consisting of the duodenojejunostomy bypass with partial gastric resection. The patient recovered without significant lasting consequences.
