Clinical profile and long-term outcomes of pediatric-onset Takayasu's arteritis: data from a mexican national referral center.
Article in Pediatric rheumatology online journal, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundTakayasu arteritis (TA) is a granulomatous inflammatory disease of unknown etiology that affects the aorta and its branches, including the coronary and pulmonary arteries. Diagnosis in pediatric age is late because the initial manifestations are nonspecific.
methodsObjective: Describe demographic, epidemiological, clinical characteristics, aortic and cardiovascular damage of patients with TA in pediatric age, and status in adult life. Retrospective study between 1988 and 2023. All children met the EULAR/PRINTO/PRES criteria for pediatric TAK. The records of symptom onset, type of angiographic lesion, surgical or interventional procedures, evolution, and status were reviewed.
resultsThe median was 12 years, with Q1-Q3 (8-15). Predominant symptoms were fatigue 29%, angina in 12%, Arterial hypertension in 53%, congestive heart failure in 12%, and stroke in 12%. The most common angiographic classification of Hata was type V, associated with a pulmonary artery lesion (V + P) in 6 (12%) and a coronary artery lesion (V + C) in 4 (8%). Forty-one patients (84%) reached adulthood; 5 (10%) discontinued care in childhood, so their prognosis is unknown.
conclusionThe timely identification of TA in children is a challenge that requires clinical art. Timely medical and interventional management allows a better prognosis and long-term survival.
