Mid-aortic syndrome: a rare cause of heart failure in infants.
Article in ESC heart failure, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
This case reports describe a rare disease, mid-aortic syndrome (MAS), that can cause severe heart failure and hypertension in infancy. The typical images, key points of diagnosis, and therapy methods of the disease have also been presented. We report two critical thoracoabdominal aortic coarctation cases in infants aged 2 and 11 months with severe heart failure. The patients were initially misdiagnosed as dilated myocardiopathy, with the correct diagnosis confirmed through imaging. Both patients underwent balloon angioplasty; one patient also had bare-metal stents implanted. The patient treated with balloon angioplasty alone died after the procedure, whereas the other patient recovered well. In conclusion, careful physical examinations, especially upper and lower extremity blood pressure differences and palpation of upper and lower limb pulses, are critical in unexplained infant heart failure cases. Stent implantation may be a safer and more effective treatment than simple balloon angioplasty in infants with MAS.
