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

Superior mesenteric artery (SMA) syndrome, also known as Wilkie syndrome, is an uncommon condition marked by the compression of the third segment of the duodenum between the SMA and the aorta, often occurring after rapid weight loss, particularly in young, slim individuals. Symptoms consist of epigastric pain, bloating, and vomiting. Nutcracker syndrome (NCS) is characterized by the compression of the left renal vein (LRV) between the superior mesenteric artery and the aorta. This condition results in venous varices and elevated pressure within the LRV, which may manifest as hematuria, proteinuria, pelvic congestion, and flank pain. Although each of these syndromes is infrequent, their simultaneous incidence is remarkably occasional. This case report examines a young male patient diagnosed with both SMA syndrome and NCS, emphasizing the importance of considering these conditions in the differential diagnosis of abdominal and renal symptoms.
