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

backgroundInfantile haemangiomas are the most common soft tissue tumours of infancy and childhood, with an incidence rate of 4-10 %. These lesions commonly present between 2 and 10 weeks after birth and characteristically involute around 8-10 years of age. Most lesions occurring in the scalp are managed conservatively, with surgery reserved for those with complications. CASE DESCRIPTION: A 5-year-old girl presented with a swelling over the left occiput noticed since birth, with a gradual increase in size and rapid progression since the last 1 year. She had undergone six sessions of intralesional steroids over the past 3 years. However, recent MRI and CT scans showed an increase in the swelling size with full-thickness erosion of the underlying calvarium without neuroparenchymal involvement. The patient underwent surgical excision of the lesion with an excellent outcome. Our literature review revealed only a single case of haemangioma which arose from the scalp and caused significant underlying calvarial erosion and intracranial extension.

conclusionWe present a case of an atypical infantile haemangioma arising in the subgaleal plane causing full-thickness erosion of the underlying calvarium.
