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

Arterial tortuosity syndrome (ATS) is a rare autosomal recessive connective tissue disease. It is mainly featured by elongation and tortuosity of the large and medium-sized arteries, along with connective tissue manifestations. In this report, we present a case of a one-year-old male who was diagnosed during the neonatal period after an episode of desaturation at birth, which required admission to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) for respiratory support. Imaging revealed tortuosity and kinking of the aortic arch along with left main pulmonary artery stenosis. The family was counselled and offered genetic testing. A multidisciplinary team meeting was held, which concluded with planning for left pulmonary stenosis stenting. The aim of this case is to emphasize the importance of early recognition and diagnosis of rare conditions like ATS through imaging in situations where genetic testing is unavailable.
