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

Mid-aortic syndrome is characterized by narrowing of the abdominal aorta, usually with the involvement of renal arteries and other visceral branches. The combination of the presence of an abdominal bruit, diminished or absent pulsations of the lower extremities, and a blood pressure discrepancy between upper and lower extremities is the classic triad associated with mid-aortic syndrome. However, it has a wide variety of clinical symptoms, and awareness of the variable presentation can lead to early diagnosis of the vascular anomaly. We report three cases presenting at three different stages of this disease, such as hydrops fetalis, refractory hypertension, and intracerebral bleeding. In conclusion, these cases highlight the importance of blood pressure measurements in all patients and accurate physical examination for early recognition of a mid-aortic syndrome.
