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

Median arcuate ligament syndrome is a rare and difficult-to-diagnose condition that typically presents with nonspecific symptoms of abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting. The condition is caused by compression of the celiac artery by the median arcuate ligament at the level of the diaphragmatic aortic hiatus. In this case report, we present a 25-year-old male who presented with a chief complaint of persistent abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting. The patient's symptoms, computed tomography imaging, and abdominal Doppler ultrasound results were consistent with the classical presentation of the disease. The patient's symptoms definitively resolved after laparoscopic median arcuate ligament decompression.
