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

Our aim in this study is to evaluate the cardiovascular findings of pediatric patients with primary Raynaud's phenomenon (RP) and to determine if there are any pathological findings. Our study included 42 pediatric patients aged between 7 and 18 who were diagnosed with primary RP and did not have any additional underlying structural vascular disease or secondary rheumatological conditions. The control group consisted of 30 healthy volunteers aged 7-18 years, matched by age and sex, without any additional diseases. We evaluated demographic, clinical, and laboratory findings, echocardiographic and capillaroscopic features, as well as carotid intima-media thickness. Compared to the control group, pediatric patients with primary RP showed increased A wave velocity and E/E' ratio parameters in the left ventricle, indicating diastolic dysfunction of the heart. The isovolumetric relaxation time (IVRT) was prolonged in both the left and right ventricles, and the E/A ratio decreased in the left ventricle. The myocardial performance index (MPI), indicating both systolic and diastolic dysfunction, increased in both ventricles. Additionally, the aortic stiffness index, aortic elastic modulus (Ep), and left carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) significantly increased, while distensibility decreased in pediatric patients with primary RP compared to the control group. The cardiovascular evaluation of pediatric patients with primary RP revealed that diastolic dysfunction is likely present in both the left and right heart. Additionally, based on the aorta and carotid intima measurements, it is suggested that pediatric patients with primary RP are at risk for developing atherosclerosis.
