Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome in a pediatric heart transplant recipient with coarctation of aorta.

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
Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) is a clinical-radiographic syndrome reported in children with hypertension due to renal diseases, immunosuppression after solid organ transplant, cytotoxic agents for chemotherapy, and many others rare instances. We described PRES in a 6-year-old child with hypertension secondary to an incidental postoperative coarctation of the aorta after heart transplantation (HT). Her blood pressure was well controlled with amlodipine during the outpatient visits and home monitoring of blood pressure, but she had hypertension when presented with neurological symptoms. This case's unique feature is that although PRES has been described after pediatric HT, this is the first case report due to a postoperative coarctation of the proximal descending aorta related to scarring from previous multiple sternotomies leading to inadvertent external compression of the aorta with scar tissue. We discussed the risk factors associated with hypertension before PRES and the correlation of brain magnetic resonance imaging findings with clinical outcomes.
