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

backgroundRenovascular hypertension due to fibromuscular dysplasia is an uncommon cause of secondary hypertension and is more common in females. This entity is an important treatable cause of secondary hypertension. CASE PRESENTATION: We report the case of a 21-year-old asymptomatic male found to have high blood pressure on routine checkup. Renal angiogram revealed fibromuscular dysplasia involving the right renal artery. He underwent percutaneous angioplasty with complete recovery. The single antihypertensive which he was on was stopped next month.

conclusionFibromuscular dysplasia causing stenosis of renal artery is uncommon. High degree of suspicion is required for the timely diagnosis and treatment of this potentially treatable cause of secondary hypertension.
