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

Fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD) is a non-atherosclerotic, non-inflammatory vascular disease that was once underrecognized and is significantly more prevalent in women than men. Although it most commonly affects the renal and extracranial carotid arteries, FMD can affect any vascular bed. Complications of FMD can include hypertension, dissection, and stroke. Presentation may vary between the sexes, with male patients having an increased frequency of arterial dissection and aneurysms compared with female patients. Diagnosis requires a high index of suspicion by the treating physician. Several imaging studies can assist with diagnosis, and treatment focuses on the monitoring of affected vessels and intervention only as needed. Antiplatelet therapy for prevention of thrombotic complications is recommended. Studies are still underway to examine the genetic underpinnings of FMD pathophysiology and to evaluate the underlying mechanism of this disease that affects more female than male patients.
