Coexistence of bezoar and superior mesenteric artery syndrome: A case report.
Article in International journal of surgery case reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
introductionBezoars are characterized by the presence of different undigested materials _mostly hair_ inside the digestive system due to a psychiatric disorder called Trichotillomania. Around 4 % of the population is affected by it [1]. Superior mesenteric artery is a medical condition that causes a compression on the duodenum between the superior mesenteric artery and the aorta with incidence rate of 2.67 % [2]. CASE PRESENTATION: A 19-year-old female presented with a history of abdominal pain and a significant weight loss over the past year. The patient has a psychiatric history that began about 13 or 14 years ago, coinciding with the onset of the Syrian war leading her to engage in trichotillomania during episodes of fear and anxiety. DISCUSSION: Bezoar symptoms usually appear when the size of the hair mass increases, leading to obstructions [7]. Its treatment depends on extracting the hair mass and giving psychiatric therapy to prevent recurrence [1]. Superior mesenteric artery syndrome is when the compression on the duodenum between the superior mesenteric artery and the aorta leads to the formation of an acute angle between the two vessels ranging from 6 to 25° [2,3]. The most important cause of this compression is weight loss [2,3]. Conservative treatment with good nutrition is preferred [2,3,8].
conclusionThe psychological effects of wars should receive more care due to their significant effects on people's lives and health.
