The differential diagnosis of fetal facial tumors: A case report of a neonatal granular cell tumor (GCT).

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
Cranio-cervico-facial tumors are rare. While ultrasound is the gold-standard method for diagnosing these anomalies, three-dimensional ultrasound and prenatal magnetic resonance imaging are complementary tools for reaching a precise diagnosis. Hemangiomas, meningoceles, proboscis lateralis, skin appendages and other fetal tumors are the main differential diagnoses. The prenatally assumed diagnosis of these malformations can change postnatally, with the ready identifcation of additional clinical features. We present a case of prenatally suspected proboscis lateralis. This diagnosis was revised postnatally to a facial hemangioma. The tumor did not regress with β-blocker therapy for 5 months, and so a biopsy was then performed, which showed it was a granular cell tumor (GCT). This was later successfully excised, with clear margins. This case is important because there has been only one reported case of neonatal GCT, and because it shows that even with technologically advanced prenatal diagnostic methods, reaching the correct diagnosis can still be challenging.
