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

We present the case of an 18-year-old woman diagnosed with median arcuate ligament syndrome (MALS) who presented with celiac artery (CA) occlusion. An open surgical approach was used, the MAL was released, and luminal patency was restored in the CA. The patient's symptoms were completely relieved. Computed tomography angiography performed 5 weeks postoperatively demonstrated sustained luminal patency of the CA. The sine qua non of MALS is the presence of severe compression of the CA. CA luminal patency can be restored in adolescent patients with MALS presenting with CA occlusion by ligament release alone avoiding the need for more complicated CA revascularization. This finding has not been described previously in the contemporary MALS literature.
