Targeted Diode Laser Therapy for Oral and Perioral Capillary-Venous Malformation in Pediatric Patients: A Prospective Study.
Article in Children (Basel, Switzerland), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundThis study describes the management protocol for capillary-venous malformations in pediatric patients and reports the epidemiology of diagnosed and treated cases at the Unit of Odontostomatology of the Aldo Moro University of Bari from 2014 to 2022.
methodsThe authors classified the intraoral and perioral capillary-venous malformations by superficial diameter (<1 cm, 1-3 cm, >3 cm) and ultrasonographical depth extension (≤5 mm, >5 mm). All patients underwent pulsed-mode diode laser transmucosal photocoagulation (8-12 W/cm
resultsA total of 22 females and 14 males (age range 4-18 years) presented 63 capillary-venous malformations. Five patients with Sturge-Weber syndrome, seven with hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia, and five with angiomatosis showed multiple malformations. The authors found no intraoperative or postoperative complications. Seventeen patients with lesions >1 cm and >5 mm deep required multiple laser sessions to heal.
conclusionThe results of the current study support diode laser photocoagulation as the gold standard for the treatment of intraoral and perioral capillary-venous malformations in pediatric patients.
