Loeys-Dietz syndrome: Case report and review of the literature.
Article in Radiology case reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
Loeyz-Dietz syndrome (LDS) is a genetic connective tissue disorder characterized by various clinical manifestations, most notably vasculopathies and skeletal abnormalities. The disease is rare, and has multiple overlapping features with other connective tissue disorders. As such, many radiologists remain unfamiliar with the imaging and clinical findings in LDS. Here, we describe the case of a 14-year-old male without previous diagnosis of LDS who presented with aortic root aneurysm and acute type A aortic dissection. Further workup revealed numerous abnormalities, including marked tortuosity of the cervical arterial system, a bifid uvula, hypertelorism, and a superior mesenteric artery aneurysm. Genetic testing ultimately revealed a mutation in Transforming Growth Factor Beta Receptor 1.
