Airway obstruction as the primary manifestation of infantile thyroid hemangioma.
Article in Italian journal of pediatrics, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
backgroundThyroid hemangioma mostly occurs in adults and is extremely rare in infants. So far, only four pediatric cases of thyroid hemangioma have been reported, one of which has only been clinically diagnosed. Most of the reported cases are of cavernous hemangiomas; capillary hemangioma cases are very rare. To date, there are no reports on capillary thyroid hemangioma in an infant. Therefore, here we present the case of an infant with a primary capillary hemangioma of the thyroid gland, and discuss its treatment and follow-up. CASE PRESENTATION: A2-month-old infant with normal thyroid function presented with airway obstruction as the primary manifestation of thyroid hemangioma. The main symptoms were laryngeal wheezing and dyspnea. Ultrasonography revealed hypoechoic lesions at the lower pole of the bilateral thyroid. Computed tomography revealed enlargement of the thyroid gland, inhomogeneous parenchyma enhancement, and multiple thyroid nodules. However, these imaging modalities were unable to provide an exact diagnosis and the nature of the mass remained unknown prior to an operation. Therefore, a postoperative histopathological examination was undertaken, which revealed capillary thyroid hemangioma. The symptoms significantly improved by a combined treatment involving surgery and oral propranolol.
conclusionWhen a well-defined capsulate mass is detected on the medical image, the possibility of primary thyroid hemangioma must be considered.
