Renal Infarction Following Anticoagulant Discontinuation in a Pediatric Patient With Congenital Heart Disease.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Renal infarctions are rare in pediatric patients. While cardiogenic risk has been documented in adults, the association between renal infarction and congenital heart disease in children is seldom reported. Consequently, the pathogenesis and risk remain unclear. This report aims to highlight a potential association between anticoagulant discontinuation and renal infarction in pediatric patients with congenital heart disease. Herein, we present the case of a nine-year-old boy who underwent Fontan surgery for a left-sided, morphologic right ventricle and for whom anticoagulants were discontinued following oral bleeding. The patient presented with sudden abdominal pain and was diagnosed with renal infarction based on his medical history and contrast-enhanced CT findings. Serum D-dimer levels were later found to be elevated. Anticoagulant discontinuation in patients with congenital heart disease is a risk factor for renal infarction, necessitating intensified monitoring. In at-risk patients, renal infarction should be considered in the differential diagnosis of acute abdomen.
