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

Although hemangiomas are the most common vascular tumors of the liver in infancy, data regarding hypothyroidism and heart failure related to hepatic hemangiomas are limited. Here, we present a 15- day -old girl who presented with prolonged jaundice at the age of 15 days. Because her TSH level was found to be 74 μIU/mL, she was initially diagnosed with congenital hypothyroidism and L-Thyroxine replacement therapy was initiated. On follow-up examination performed two months later, it was observed that her TSH level was not suppressed and a mass was noticed in the right upper abdomen on physical examination. Abdominal ultrasonography revealed multiple masses with sizes of about 3-3,5 cm covering the whole liver. When evaluated with clinical and radiological appearance, oral methylprednisolone at a dose of 5 mg/kg/day and propranolol at a dose of 2 mg/kg were initiated with a diagnosis of hepatic hemagioma/hemangioendothelioma. Consumptive hypothyroidism due to hepatic hemangioma and congestive heart failure were considered in the patient who had findings of heart failure. The dose of L-Thyroxine was increased 2-fold. The patient received intensive care treatment for severe heart failure. Because his findings resolved, he was started to be followed up with propranolol, steroid and L-Thyroxine treatment.
