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

Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the clinical value of abdominal aortic spectral Doppler combined with echocardiography in the diagnosis of aortic coarctation in pediatric patients. Methods: Pediatric patients with aortic coarctation, diagnosed by computed tomography angiography (CTA) and surgically confirmed, were retrospectively enrolled. These patients were divided into two groups based on the availability of abdominal aortic spectral Doppler. Additionally, both abdominal aortic spectral Doppler and echocardiographic data were collected for the normal group. All data were compared and analyzed to determine the reasons for discrepancies in diagnostic results. Results: No significant differences were observed in baseline characteristics among the three groups ( Conclusions: Abdominal aortic spectral Doppler combined with echocardiography can improve the diagnostic sensitivity of aortic coarctation in pediatric patients and can be used as an important indirect imaging approach in clinical practice to reduce missed diagnoses of aortic coarctation.
