Understanding Superior Mesenteric Artery Syndrome: Etiology, Symptoms, Diagnosis, and Management.
Review in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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, also known as Wilkie's syndrome, poses a diagnostic challenge due to its rarity and varied clinical manifestations. This review explores the syndrome's etiology, symptoms, diagnostic challenges, and management strategies. Symptoms range from early satiety to severe abdominal pain, often leading to malnutrition. Diagnosis involves a thorough gastrointestinal evaluation and various imaging modalities. Management includes medical interventions like nasogastric decompression and nutritional support, along with surgical interventions such as duodenojejunostomy. A thorough understanding of SMA syndrome's complexities is crucial for its timely diagnosis and effective management, especially considering its potential overlap with other gastrointestinal disorders or eating disorders. Further research is needed to enhance understanding and improve patient outcomes.
