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

backgroundRASopathies are disorders caused by variants in a gene in the RAS-mitogen-activated protein kinase (RAS-MAPK) pathway that have an association with cardiovascular anomalies, most commonly pulmonary stenosis and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. There are some reported cases of coronary artery aneurysms (CAAs) in patients with RASopathies, but there is limited understanding of CAAs in this population, particularly in younger patients and in those with varying genotypes. CASE SUMMARY: We describe 3 pediatric cases of patients with RASopathy developing CAA or ectasia: a 3-year-old with CBL-related RASopathy with giant CAAs, one of which required surgical intervention with a coronary artery bypass graft; an 8-year-old with PTPN11-related Noonan syndrome with giant CAAs; and an 11-year-old with a clinical diagnosis of Noonan syndrome with coronary ectasia. DISCUSSION: CAAs may be related to underlying RASopathies. Further exploration of the association and pathophysiology of CAAs in RASopathy is needed to guide screening, prevention, and management.
