Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome revealing renal artery stenosis in a child.
Review in BMJ case reports, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
A 14-year-old girl was admitted to the emergency department for repeated seizures with no fever. High blood pressure at admission was ascribed to the status epilepticus. Seizure recurrence promoted transfer to the paediatric intensive care unit. The MRI visualised bilateral, subcortical, white-matter lesions in the parietal and occipital lobes suggesting posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES). Continuous nicardipine infusion corrected the hypertension and neurological manifestations within a few hours. The diagnostic workup showed right renal artery stenosis. Blood pressure returned to normal values for age after right nephrectomy. She was discharged home without treatment. She had no residual neurological impairments. This case highlights the risk of misinterpreting sustained hypertension in children with repeated seizures. We briefly review paediatric PRES, which is rare as compared to adults. Increased awareness among critical care physicians, together with greater availability of cerebral MRI, is decreasing the time to diagnosis.
