Coarctation of the Aorta Presenting as Haemorrhagic Stroke in a 3-Year-Old Boy- A Case Report.
Article in Nigerian medical journal : journal of the Nigeria Medical Association. 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
Coarctation of the aorta is an obstructive form of congenital heart defects that presents with upper limb hypertension. If untreated, Coarctation of the aorta can lead to left ventricular dysfunction and cerebral vasculopathy. Missed diagnosis due to its subtle presentation is common with attendant complications. This is a case report of an apparently healthy 3-year-old boy who lapsed into a coma after a trivial fall. He had upper limb hypertension and the pulses in the lower limbs were barely palpable. Brain computed tomography (CT) revealed non-traumatic haemorrhagic stroke and echocardiography showed severe left ventricular hypertrophy and severe coarctation of the aorta. Coarctation of the aorta can manifest as chronic upper limb hypertension in children with complicated non-traumatic haemorrhagic stroke. Routine blood pressure measurement in young children can serve as a screening tool for early diagnosis of the condition.
