Incidental recurrence of high-grade coarctation of the aorta in a child.
Article in Journal of surgical case reports, 2026. 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
This case report describes a high-grade recurrent aortic coarctation incidentally detected in a 7-year, 10-month-old girl, seven years after primary balloon dilatation. Echocardiography identified narrowing of the descending aortic arch. Computed tomography of the chest with three-dimensional reconstruction further delineated severe focal stenosis at the aortic isthmus, adjacent to the left subclavian artery origin, with a minimal luminal diameter of 0.5 cm. Post-stenotic dilation of the proximal descending aorta measured up to 2.7 cm. The patient underwent successful surgical repair with artificial vascular bypass under extracorporeal circulation. Postoperative imaging confirmed graft patency. Symptoms resolved after surgery, and the patient continues under long-term follow-up. This case highlights the risk of delayed, severe recoarctation after balloon angioplasty and emphasizes the importance of sustained imaging surveillance in these patients.
