Risk of infantile hemangiomas in the offspring of women with autoimmune disease and the pathogenic implications of these lesions.
Article in American journal of medical genetics. Part A, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
The purpose of this study was to analyze the risk of maternal autoimmune disease or associated treatments on infantile hemangiomas (IHs), a common benign vascular tumor in infants, and to better understand how maternal chronic inflammation may play a factor in the pathogenesis of these lesions. Eligible women from the United States and Canada who enrolled before 19 weeks' gestation and delivered at least one live born infant were recruited as part of the Organization of Teratology Information Specialists (OTIS) Autoimmune Disease in Pregnancy Project from 2004-2013. A total of 51/969 (5.3%) and 8/240 (3.3%) infants with IH were born to mothers with and without autoimmune disease, respectively (OR 1.61; 95%CI, 0.75-.44). The presence of ulcerative colitis (UC) in the mother was significantly associated with IH in the child (OR 3.46; 95%CI, 1.29-9.26). The five largest IH occurred within the autoimmune disease cohort and to women taking a biologic medication. These results imply that UC may be a risk factor for IH development, and that chronic inflammation may influence the development of these lesions. This potential link between IH and autoimmune disease warrants further investigation.
