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
Introduction: Acute celiac artery compression syndrome occurs after corrective surgery for adult spinal deformity. It occurs due to ischemic abdominal organ necrosis, caused by compression of the celiac artery (CA) and superior mesenteric artery by the median arcuate ligament. There are no studies measuring the extent of CA or superior mesenteric artery stenosis. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate stenotic changes in the CA after adult spinal deformity surgery. Methods: We obtained contrast-enhanced computed tomography scans for 21 pre-and postoperative patients with adult spinal deformity. Three-dimensional reconstruction computed tomography measured the degree of stenosis in the CA trunks. Stenosis was considered worse if it progressed from being less than 35% before surgery to over 50% afterward. This study investigated the relationship between worsening CA stenosis and the median arcuate ligament crossing the proximal portion of the celiac axis (median arcuate ligament overlap) or the distance between the median arcuate ligament and the anterior edge of the vertebra (DMV). Change in spinal parameters was defined as differences between pre- and postoperative values. Results: The average stenosis degree in the CA was 9.4%±11.4% pre-operatively, which increased to 25.1%±21.8% post-operatively ( Conclusions: Nineteen percent of patients undergoing adult spinal deformity correction surgery experienced worsened CA stenosis. Risk factors were preoperative median arcuate ligament overlap and DMV shortening during adult spinal deformity correction surgery. Moreover, patients with preoperative CA stenosis and median arcuate ligament overlap were at risk for acute celiac artery compression syndrome following adult spinal deformity surgery.
