Fibromuscular Dysplasia of Renal and Carotid Arteries.

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
We report here two cases of fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD). The first case describes an asymptomatic 75-year-old man with FMD of the right internal carotid artery. The second case reports a 17-year-old man who presented with arterial hypertension caused by FMD of the left renal artery and was subsequently successfully treated by angioplasty. FMD is a rare nonatherosclerotic, noninflammatory angiopathy, which can involve almost every arterial vascular bed. It is a less common cause of stenosis of renal and carotid arteries. FMD can present with arterial hypertension when it involves renal arteries or with ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack when the disease affects the carotid or vertebral arteries. Many cases are asymptomatic and may be discovered incidentally. Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty should be used in patients with a stenosis of the renal artery causing arterial hypertension. On the contrary, conservative therapy should be chosen in patients with asymptomatic and extensive lesions of the carotid arteries.
