Recurrent Gastrointestinal Symptoms and Diagnosis of Superior Mesenteric Artery Syndrome.
Article in Cureus, 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
This is a case of a young lady who was admitted multiple times with complaints of inability to digest food and abdominal pain. She had nausea and vomiting for long periods and was unable to tolerate orally. As she was unable to tolerate oral feeding and losing weight, she was started on nasogastric feed (NG feed) and later percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) tube feeding because NG feed was uncomfortable for the patient and did not alleviate the problem. Clinicians decided to look for alternative causes and an esophagogastroduodenoscopy was performed but no cause was found. Later, fluoroscopy findings favored superior mesenteric artery syndrome. Thus, the feeding tube was changed to percutaneous endoscopic gastrointestinal-jejunal (PEG-J) tube feeding which helped her with her symptoms, and the patient improved clinically after some time and gained weight as well. This case highlights the significance of early suspicion and diagnosis of superior mesenteric artery syndrome. Timely recognition may lead to early diagnosis and management, saving patients from debilitating adverse events.
