A Case of Superior Mesenteric Artery Syndrome in a Patient With Acute-Onset Symptoms Managed Conservatively.
Article in Cureus, 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
Superior mesenteric artery (SMA) syndrome is a rare aetiology of duodenal obstruction, typically presenting with chronic abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and weight loss. The syndrome results from a decreased angle between the SMA and the abdominal aorta, which compresses the third portion of the duodenum and obstructs the duodenal lumen. This report describes a 31-year-old male who presented with acute-onset vomiting and epigastric pain and was diagnosed with SMA syndrome. Although SMA syndrome classically presents with chronic symptoms, this case demonstrates an acute presentation in an otherwise healthy young adult. This case highlights the necessity of including SMA syndrome in the differential diagnosis of acute abdominal symptoms, even in patients without a chronic history, as early recognition and conservative treatment may prevent surgical procedures.
