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

introductionVenous malformations affect around 2 per 10,000 newborn and are the most common type of congenital vascular malformation. They are always present at birth and are often misdiagnosed with hemangiomas. Accurate diagnosis and adequate targeted therapy through a multidisciplinary approach is advocated for a successful treatment, considering a combination of modalities in complex cases. We present here the workup and treatment of a venous malformation in a 14 month old child by combining a preoperative sclerotherapy with sodium tetradecyl sulfate (STS) followed by complete surgical excision respecting the calvarium. CASE PRESENTATION: A large right extracranial fronto-parietal venous malformation and scalloping of the underlying calvarium, attached to the pericranium, surgically excised after preoperative sclerotherapy with STS in a 14-month-old child.

resultsThe patient had an uneventful postoperative course with complete resection of the lesion, satisfying cosmetic appearance and no complications. Histopathological examination confirmed a venous malformation.

conclusionWe demonstrated the workup and the rationale of the combined sclerotherapy followed by surgical resection of a large growing extracranial venous malformation. Preoperative direct contrast injection and sclerotherapy allowed to rule out significative extracranial to intracranial venous inflow and reduce blood loss for the surgical procedure, respectively. Complete removal of the malformation minimized the impact on future growth of the calvarium.
