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

Superior mesenteric artery syndrome is a rare condition where the third portion of the duodenum becomes compressed between the superior mesenteric artery and the aorta. A 60-year-old woman presented with abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting. Initial imaging was concerning for obstruction of the duodenum between the level of the aorta and the superior mesenteric vein. The patient was taken for esophagogastroduodenoscopy, which showed extrinsic compression of the duodenum with a visible pulsatile mass causing proximal dilation. She subsequently underwent robotic-assisted laparoscopic diagnostic laparoscopy, lysis of small bowel adhesions, and duodenojejunostomy proximal to the location of the obstruction.
