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

Median Arcuate Ligament Syndrome (MALS) typically causes gastrointestinal symptoms due to celiac artery compression. Rarely, extrinsic compression of the renal artery may lead to renovascular hypertension. We report a 15-year-old boy with progressive renal asymmetry and poorly controlled hypertension without abdominal symptoms. Imaging demonstrated compression of the celiac trunk and left renal artery by the median arcuate ligament and diaphragmatic crura. Open surgical decompression restored renal artery flow and normalized blood pressure. This case highlights an unusual pediatric presentation of MALS and emphasizes that early recognition and timely surgical intervention can prevent irreversible renal vascular damage.
