Infantile Hepatic Hemangioma: Avoiding Unnecessary Invasive Procedures.
Article in Pediatric gastroenterology, hepatology & nutrition, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Infantile hepatic hemangioma, the most common vascular tumor of the liver in infancy, can occur with acute postnatal liver and congestive heart failure. Nevertheless, its course is often benign, and many children can be diagnosed and treated without surgical intervention. The distinction from malignant diseases is not always easy and it not clear whether invasive procedures for diagnosis and therapy should be performed. Here we report our experiences in our Center for Pediatric Liver Disease and postulate that large studies are needed to avoid unnecessary invasive procedures for these patients in the future.
