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

Aortic coarctation is a common congenital cardiovascular anomaly, usually located at the aortic isthmus. It is associated with an increased risk of intracranial aneurysms, which may rupture and lead to subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), particularly in the setting of long-standing proximal arterial hypertension. We present the case of a 17-year-old adolescent who was admitted with severe SAH (modified Fisher grade IV) secondary to a ruptured basilar trunk aneurysm, which was treated by endovascular coil embolization. Post-embolization investigations revealed severe arterial hypertension, prompting further vascular imaging. Thoracic computer tomography angiography showed a tight stenosis of the descending thoracic aorta consistent with postductal coarctation, with extensive collateral circulation. This case underscores the importance of considering aortic coarctation in young patients presenting with intracranial aneurysm or SAH and highlights the pivotal role of cross-sectional imaging in the diagnostic workup.
