Robotic management of superior mesenteric artery syndrome after weight loss: 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 rare cause of proximal intestinal obstruction resulting from compression of the third portion of the duodenum between the aorta and the SMA. It most commonly occurs in slender individuals or those experiencing rapid weight loss, but presentations can be atypical and diagnostically challenging. We report the case of a 28-year-old female with history of postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome and gastroparesis who presented with recurrent nausea and intractable vomiting following a 110-lb weight loss after prior obesity. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy and gallbladder ultrasonography were unremarkable. Computed tomography of the abdomen demonstrated findings consistent with SMA syndrome, including severe narrowing of the aortomesenteric angle and reduced aortomesenteric distance. The patient subsequently underwent robotic-assisted duodenojejunostomy with resolution of symptoms. This case highlights an atypical presentation of SMA syndrome following massive weight loss and demonstrates the feasibility of robotic duodenojejunostomy as an effective treatment option.
