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

backgroundLobular capillary hemangioma (LCH) is an acquired benign vascular tumor of unknown origin. It usually affects skin and mucous membranes of the oropharynx. It rarely involves the nasal cavity which most commonly manifests as epistaxis. To our knowledge, only fifteen pediatric intranasal LCH cases have been reported in the literature. None of these occurred in the inferior turbinate. We report two new pediatric cases of LCH, one of them on the inferior turbinate and the other one on the anterior nasal septum. Our principal aim was to highlight the importance of considering this lesion as a differential diagnosis for pediatric unilateral nasal obstruction and epistaxis.

methodsRetrospective case series and review of current literature regarding the possible causes, diagnosis, and treatment of nasal LCH. DESCRIPTION OF CASES: Two adolescents presented with symptoms of unilateral nasal obstruction and epistaxis. Plain and contrast enhanced computed tomography revealed a well-defined intensely enhancing lesion in both cases. Patients underwent transnasal endoscopic excision and bipolar electrocautery at the base of the tumor for hemostasis. Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of LCH. DISCUSSION: Current epidemiological and pathophysiological data suggests that the development of LCH may be associated to previous nasal trauma or endocrine disorders. LCH should be considered in the differential diagnosis of all pediatric endonasal masses associated with unilateral epistaxis and nasal obstruction. Endoscopic total excision with bipolar electrocautery for hemostasis is an appropriate treatment.
