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 is an acquired vascular compression disorder resulting from the compression of the third portion of the duodenum, which is the first part of the small intestine, leading to a reduction in the space between the aorta and the superior mesenteric artery. Although rare, superior mesenteric artery syndrome-induced pancreatitis has been documented in the literature. This article presents the case of a 20-year-old female patient with a history of colectomy for acute severe colitis, resulting in significant weight loss. She was admitted to the hospital with symptoms of upper bowel obstruction, and the diagnosis of superior mesenteric artery syndrome complicated by acute pancreatitis was made. The patient underwent a nutritional assistance program along with intravenous fluid therapy, resulting in positive outcomes. Superior mesenteric artery syndrome -induced pancreatitis is rarely reported and can be attributed to an occlusive post-papillary syndrome, which causes retrograde reflux of bile into the pancreatic duct, activating inflammation responsible for pancreatitis.
