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

Lymphatic malformations are congenital anomalies of the lymphatic system that can occur anywhere in the body and typically present in early childhood. They are often painless, slow-growing, and asymptomatic, but may lead to a wide range of symptoms depending on their size and location. Rarely, congenital malformations may not be diagnosed until later in childhood or adolescence, despite being present from birth. In some individuals, lymphatic malformations can expand quickly, especially in the setting of an inflammatory process. We present the case of an 8-year-old boy who had a rapidly enlarging, nonpainful mass on his right neck and a positive
