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
Long-term abdominal pain (LAP) affects 30% to 40% of children, often linked to functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGIDs) such as functional dyspepsia and irritable bowel syndrome. Less common causes include gastroptosis and superior mesenteric artery (SMA) syndrome, conditions that can be challenging to diagnose due to their rarity. Gastroptosis refers to the downward displacement of the stomach, while SMA syndrome, also known as Wilkie's syndrome, involves the compression of the duodenum between the abdominal aorta and the superior mesenteric artery. While both conditions have been described separately, their coexistence has not been previously documented. Herein, we present the case of a 17-year-old girl with a six-month history of postprandial abdominal pain and vomiting, diagnosed with both gastroptosis and SMA syndrome. Diagnostic tests, including a CT scan and barium radiography, confirmed the presence of a duodenal stricture and severe gastric elongation, providing an insight into the pathophysiology of these rare conditions.
