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

Introduction: and importance: Infantile hemangioma, being a benign tumor of the blood vessel, is part of a triad composed of also thrombocytopenia and hypofibrinogenemia as part of Kasabach Merrit Syndrome. Case presentation: We report the case of a 2 months old female Saudi infant referred due to respiratory distress, thrombocytopenia, and enlarging hemangioma on right upper chest, neck, and lower cheek. Diagnosis of kaposiform hemangioendothelioma complicated by Kasabach Merritt thrombocytopenia was done based on the clinical triad of thrombocytopenia, bleeding tendency, and the presence of a vascular tumor. Conclusion: Vincristine and CTA embolization are lines of management that showed to be the most efficient in the improvement of the clinical picture of KMS in our patient.
