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
Kasabach-Merritt phenomenon (KMP) is consumptive coagulopathy in large vascular lesion. This condition is specific in kaposiform haemangioendothelioma (KHE) and tufted angioma, associated with high mortality rate. This condition often involves the limbs, trunk and retroperitoneum. The clinical features that are usually found are purpura, oedema, induration and ecchymosis. A boy baby aged 9 months presented with a history of violaceous tumour that appeared on his left leg at birth that became enlarged since 6 months ago that caused discrepancy between both of his legs. The patient has his left leg massaged through alternative treatment, causing it became bruised and wounded. Blood examination showed normocytic normochromic anaemia with severe thrombocytopenia and high D-dimer. The patient was diagnosed with KMP with cellulitis and treated with oral corticosteroid, propranolol and antibiotics. Diagnosis of KMP can be made through clinical and laboratory findings. Combination therapy with corticosteroid and propranolol can be considered for KMP treatment.
