Superior mesenteric artery syndrome complicated by acute pancreatitis: a case report.
Article in Journal of surgical case reports, 2026. 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 relatively rare condition caused by compression of the third portion of the duodenum between the aorta and the SMA. The coexistence of SMA syndrome and acute pancreatitis is even rarer and remains poorly recognized in clinical practice. A 36-year-old woman with a history of cerebral palsy and scoliosis presented with epigastric pain and abdominal distension. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography revealed compression of the third portion of the duodenum with dilatation of the proximal gastrointestinal tract, leading to the diagnosis of SMA syndrome. In addition, peripancreatic fat stranding was observed, suggesting concomitant acute pancreatitis. Other causes of pancreatitis were considered unlikely. The patient improved rapidly with conservative treatment and was discharged without recurrence. Clinicians should be aware that SMA syndrome may be complicated by acute pancreatitis, particularly in patients with worsening abdominal pain.
