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

Marfan syndrome (MFS) is a multisystem connective tissue disorder affecting the cardiovascular, ocular, and skeletal systems. We report a case of a 13.5-year-old boy who presented with excessive linear growth. Diagnostic evaluations revealed severe aortic root dilatation, repeatedly positive occult blood in urine, and ultrasonographic findings suggestive of left renal vein entrapment. Genetic testing identified a pathogenic variant in the FBN1 gene. The patient was ultimately diagnosed with Marfan syndrome complicated by left renal vein entrapment syndrome (nutcracker phenomenon). The co-occurrence of severe aortic root dilatation and left renal vein entrapment syndrome in childhood Marfan syndrome is relatively uncommon. This case may provide valuable insights for clinical diagnosis and management.
