Spontaneous regression of multiple intracranial capillary hemangiomas in a newborn-long-term follow-up and literature review.
Review in Child's nervous system : ChNS : official journal of the International Society for Pediatric Neurosurgery, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundIntracranial capillary hemangiomas (ICHs) have a natural history and behavior that is very different from intracranial cavernous malformations. The literature is not consistent as to the best management strategy for ICHs. CASE DESCRIPTION: Our patient is a 40-day-old male infant who presented with progressive increase in head circumference and multiple cutaneous capillary and ICHs. Obstructive hydrocephalus necessitated urgent cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) diversion, but no other surgical intervention was pursued due to the high risk-to-benefit ratio. All intracranial lesions spontaneously regressed by 11 years of age, albeit at a slower speed than the cutaneous lesions, with no functional or cognitive sequelae. We conducted a comprehensive literature review and provided a summary of all reported ICH cases.
conclusionAsymptomatic patients with ICHs are best approached with close follow-up and serial imaging studies as the potential for spontaneous regression is relatively high. Patients with isolated lesions or unclear diagnoses may benefit from a stereotactic biopsy, and surgical resection should be reserved for symptomatic lesions only.
