Giant cranial and cerebellar hemangioma treated with propranolol.
Article in Child's nervous system : ChNS : official journal of the International Society for Pediatric Neurosurgery, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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.
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
introductionInfantile hemangiomas are the most common benign tumors in children. However, cranial involvement of such lesions is rare. Current treatment options for hemangiomas in various locations that would be endangering or disfiguring include follow-up, surgical removal, or administration of corticosteroids, interferon-α, thalidomide, vincristine, propranolol, and laser therapy.
methodsWe describe an infant who presented with an extensive cranial hemangioma (proven by a biopsy). The child was treated with propranolol.
resultsClinical and radiological follow-up for over a year showed significant reduction in tumor size without adverse clinical symptoms.
conclusionPropranolol is a valid treatment for large cranial hemangiomas, avoiding the risks involved in surgeries.
