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

Coarctation of the aorta represents more than a simple obstructive lesion, as there is often evidence of hypertension and vascular dysfunction despite successful surgery at an early age. There are ample data showing that a large proportion of patients develop arterial hypertension, and this appears to increase with age. Our understanding of the pathogenesis of late hypertension is incomplete, and there is limited information on which drugs are most appropriate. Increased arterial rigidity is now well described in this patient group, although it is not known how this should influence therapy. The increase in afterload associated with this increased rigidity has been found to have an impact on the left ventricle at an early stage, and the interaction between the vascular dysfunction and the ventricle is an area of interest and active research. This article reviews some recent studies and highlights areas where research questions remain.
