Case Report: Transcatheter treatment of aortic coarctation in a 58-year-old patient with LACHT syndrome and left lung agenesis.

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
LACHT (Lung Agenesis, Congenital Heart, and Thumb anomalies) syndrome is an extremely rare congenital anomaly and presents significant challenges in adults due to its poor survival rates. Herein, we report a case of late diagnosis and successful transcatheter treatment of aortic coarctation in a 58-year-old male patient with LACHT syndrome, medically resistant arterial hypertension, and left lung agenesis. Baseline CT angiography showed isthmic aortic coarctation and left lung agenesis, with compensatory right pulmonary artery and vein thickenings. The patient underwent balloon dilation and subsequent implantation of a covered NuMED 45 mm 8-ZIG CP stent with satisfactory outcomes. The pressure gradient decreased from 43 to 23 mmHg. The arterial pressures normalized during the follow-up with fewer medications. Genetic testing identified a heterozygous mutation (c.6583C > T) in the FBN2, supporting the diagnosis of variant Marfan syndrome.
