Robotic median arcuate ligament release: a video vignette.
Article in Journal of minimally invasive surgery, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Median arcuate ligament syndrome (MALS) poses a rare challenge in diagnosis and management. We present a case of MALS in a 50-year-old male with recurrent epigastric pain, vomiting, and diarrhea. Diagnostic imaging revealed celiac artery stenosis and gastroduodenal artery collateral dilatation. Robotic-assisted median arcuate ligament release successfully alleviated symptoms. Utilizing the da Vinci X system (Intuitive Surgical, Inc.), the procedure involved meticulous dissection of the celiac artery and surrounding tissue. Postoperative duplex ultrasound confirmed improved arterial flow. Literature underscores the diagnostic hurdles of MALS and the advantages of minimally invasive approaches over conventional open surgery. The robotic approach may help smoothen the learning curve associated with this procedure, by providing improved operative flexibility. Patient outcomes are excellent, with long-term symptom relief in most cases.
