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

Introduction and importance: Superior mesenteric artery (SMA) syndrome is a rare morbid vascular disorder that is defined as the decrease in the aortomesenteric angle and the compression of the third part of the duodenum. This disorder mainly affects young adult females, and severe weight loss represents a leading predisposing factor. Case presentation: The authors report the case of a 19-year-old male who was admitted to our hospital with a 3-month history of epigastric pain, nausea, and weight loss. Two months earlier, the patient was diagnosed with Clinical discussion: In the authors' case, the non-specific clinical symptoms correlated with histopathological examinations led to the initial diagnosis of Conclusion: The authors report the first case report from Syria of s superior mesenteric artery syndrome that was misdiagnosed and preceded by HP-induced gastritis, highlighting the crucial role of detailed clinical and radiological examinations in the diagnosis of challenging cases with morbid complications.
