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

Nutcracker syndrome is a rare clinical entity characterized by external compression of left renal vein (LRV) disturbing the outflow of blood into inferior venacava. We present a case of a 35-year-old female who presented to gynecology outpatient department (OPD) with abdominal pain of right lower quadrant initially which later shifted to left flank associated with dysmenorrhea. Laboratory investigations revealed microscopic hematuria and anemia. Imaging with computed tomography revealed decreased aorto-mesenteric angle with dilatation of left renal vein, left ovarian vein, pelvic veins on left side and cross collateral venous dilatation on right side of pelvis suggesting nutcracker morphology leading to pelvic congestion syndrome. This case demonstrates atypical clinical presentation of NCS with shifting pain.
