Renal artery branch stenosis induced hypertension in children: a case series.
Article in BMC pediatrics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
purposeRenal artery branch stenosis induced hypertension (HTN) in children is rare and facing a great challenge in diagnosis and treatment. This study aimed to summarize the clinical features and experience in diagnosis and treatment of these children.
methodsFour children diagnosed with renal artery branch stenosis induced HTN in the Cardiovascular Department of Children's Hospital, Capital Institute of Pediatrics were retrospectively summarized with the clinical data, the process of diagnosis and treatment, and the prognosis.
resultsAll patients were male with the age of 8 ~ 9 years. All were diagnosed with stage 2 HTN and most had significant symptoms. Routine examinations showed no abnormalities. A slight perfusion defect in the kidney was observed on abdominal contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT) in all cases. Renal artery branch stenosis was clearly detected by selective renal artery angiography. One had stenosis in the interlobular artery of the kidney, and the remaining had secondary branches stenosis. In terms of treatment, two children underwent selective renal artery embolization (SRAE), one underwent dilation by microcatheter, and the other one did not undergo interventional therapy due to arterial segmental narrowing. More than one year after SRAE, the number of antihypertensive medications was cut down with the blood pressure (BP) level reduced to normal.
conclusionRenal artery branch stenosis should be considered in younger children with early onset of HTN and significantly elevated BP. Selective renal artery angiography is the gold standard for diagnosis. However, the treatment is challenging, and SRAE may be a better choice in some cases.
