Superior mesenteric artery syndrome managed laparoscopically: a case report.
Article in Journal of medical case reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
backgroundSuperior mesenteric artery syndrome is a rare condition that has only around 400 reported cases so far. Typically, the superior mesenteric artery branches off the abdominal aorta at 45° to create an aortomesenteric distance of 10-28 mm, with the duodenum passing through. However, if this aortomesenteric angle reduces to less than 25°, the third portion of the duodenum becomes compressed between the SMA and aorta, causing mechanical obstruction. CASE PRESENTATION: This case report aims to demonstrate the diagnostic difficulties and the laparoscopic management of a 52-year-old Indian male presenting with abdominal pain and vomiting, with associated weight loss. Imaging was further suggestive of high intestinal obstruction, and he was later found to have superior mesenteric artery syndrome.
conclusionTaking into account a significant reduction in morbidity, we propose laparoscopic duodenojejunostomy to be the new procedure of choice for superior mesenteric artery syndrome.
