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

Renal artery obstruction is uncommon in the pediatric population and therefore represents a challenging diagnosis to ascertain and treat. While angioplasty and surgery have been used to treat it, stent implantation has been left mainly for adult use. In the following paper, we expose the case of an 8-year-old female who presented with severe arterial hypertension. Initially, the patient was evaluated and up to 5 antihypertensive medications were started. After complete evaluation, she was found to have severe right renal artery distal and proximal stenosis. She underwent recurrent angioplasties and then a bare metal stent (BMS) implantation, due to recurrence of stenosis. The original BMS developed a circumferential fracture, leading to a second stent implant, this time using a drug eluting stent (DES). She has been stable for 8 years since the last intervention, although using 2 antihypertensive medications. The use of BMS and DES may add another tool in the armamentarium of the pediatric interventionist to treat these children with recurrent stenosis that fail angioplasty.
