Influence of Port-wine Stains on Quality of Life of Children and Their Parents.

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
Port-wine stains are congenital vascular malformations that affect the quality of life of children and their parents. This study used the Family Dermatology Life Quality Index and Children's Dermatology Life Quality Index to examine the effects of port-wine stains on the quality of life of children and their parents, including an in-depth, systematic analysis of the moderating effects of the children's sex and port-wine stain classification. The study included 43 children (25 girls and 18 boys) and their parents. The presence of a port-wine stain had a significantly greater impact on the quality of life of mothers than on that of fathers (p < 0.001). Port-wine stains in girls had a greater effect on paternal quality of life than did port-wine stains in boys (girls p < 0.01; boys p = 0.542). Severe types of port-wine stains exerted a greater impact on maternal quality of life (pink-red type, dark-red type, and purple-dark type: p < 0.001, p = 0.948 and p = 0.086, respectively). There-fore, clinicians should consider familial relationships and differences when offering psychological support.
