Clinical efficacy of absolute ethanol combined with n-butyl cyanoacrylate sclerotherapy in the treatment of Puig's classified advanced venous malformation in children.

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 aim of the present retrospective study was to investigate the clinical safety and efficacy of absolute ethanol combined with n-butyl cyanoacrylate sclerotherapy in the treatment of Puig's classified advanced venous malformation. Sclerotherapy was performed in 121 children (52 males and 69 females; age range, 5 months to 16 years) with venous malformations under general anesthesia between April 2009 and October 2014 at the Department of Interventional Radiology and Vascular Anomalies, Guangzhou Women and Children's Medical Center, Guangzhou, China. The patients with venous malformations were diagnosed and classified according to the diagnostic criteria of the International Society for the Study of Vascular Anomalies. According to the characteristics of intraoperative percutaneous angiography, 21 patient cases (9 males and 12 females; age range, 6 months to 14 years) were classified as advanced Puig's venous malformation. These 21 patients were treated with absolute ethanol combined with n-butyl cyanoacrylate. The patients were followed-up for 6-24 months (average, 15 months) after treatment. Following treatment with absolute ethanol combined with n-butyl cyanoacrylate, 15 cases were controlled and the total effective rate was 71% (15/21). However, 1 patient developed skin ulcerations, which was classed as a minor complication, 1 patient developed ectopic embolism caused by n-butyl cyanoacrylate reflux, and 1 patient developed transient pulmonary hypertension, the latter two complications were classified as major. Notably, the incidence rate of minor and major complications were 14.3%. To conclude, the present findings indicated that absolute ethanol combined with n-butyl cyanoacrylate sclerotherapy was a safe and effective method with a low complication rate in the treatment of Puig's classified advanced venous malformation in patients.
