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

Coarctation of the aorta (CoA) is a congenital disease characterized by the narrowing of the aorta, typically the descending portion after the left subclavian artery. If left untreated, by the time individuals reach 50 years of age, the mortality rate can reach 90%. Previous studies have highlighted the adverse effects of CoA on local hemodynamics. However, no study has investigated the global hemodynamic effects of CoA in end-organ (brain and kidney) damage. Clinical studies have shown that coarctation acts as a reflection site, potentially damaging the hemodynamics of the brain and kidneys. Our goal in this study is to investigate the underlying mechanisms of these altered wave dynamics and their impacts on the pulsatile hemodynamics of end-organs. In this study, we use a physiologically accurate in-vitro experimental setup that simulates the hemodynamics of systemic circulation. Experiments are conducted across various cardiac outputs, heart rates, and coarctation degrees using aortas across a wide range of aortic stiffnesses. Our principal finding is that CoA increases cerebral blood flow and harmful pulsatile energy transmission to the brain. Conversely, both renal blood flow and pulsatile energy transmission to the kidneys are reduced in CoA at every level of aortic stiffness.
