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

Median arcuate ligament syndrome (MALS), also known as Dunbar syndrome, celiac axis syndrome, or celiac artery compression syndrome, is caused by a band of tissue called the median arcuate ligament that compresses the celiac artery and sometimes the celiac plexus too. MALS does not always cause symptoms, but when symptoms occur, surgery is the treatment of choice. This case report focuses on the case of a 27-year-old woman presenting with postprandial episodes of abdominal pain and vomiting accompanied by loss of weight, which was found to be MALS.
