1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

purposeTo explore the treatment of pediatric hepatic hemangioma and the role of the Hisense computer-assisted surgery (Hisense CAS) system in diagnosis and treatment.

methodsWe collected the clinical and follow-up data of all pediatric hepatic hemangioma cases in our pediatric surgery department from March 2008 to March 2021 for retrospective analysis. The Hisense CAS system was used to create three-dimensional (3D) reconstructions based on computed tomography data.

resultsThere were 71 patients, mainly infants (prenatal to 39 months). There were more males than females (42 vs. 29), and the alpha-fetoprotein level was significantly increased in 8 cases. 3D reconstruction by the Hisense CAS system showed that hepatic artery tracking was helpful for the differential diagnosis of pediatric hepatic hemangioma. Twenty-three children treated with propranolol showed significant differences in the tumour diameter, volume, and tumour-to-liver volume ratio after treatment (all P < 0.05). Compared with early surgical treatment, the curative effect of this approach was obvious.

conclusionAs a non-surgical treatment for symptomatic pediatric hepatic hemangioma, propranolol can replace surgical resection to a certain extent and reduce the proportion of children who need surgical intervention. Hisense CAS has advantages in evaluating the tumour volume before and after propranolol treatment. The liver volume and the liver tumour volume percentage provide new perspectives for evaluating the tumour outcome.
