An intramuscular hemangioma of the semispinalis muscle: A case report.
Article in SAGE open medical case reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Intramuscular hemangiomas are uncommon benign endotheliomas that typically occur in the trunk and limbs. Head and neck involvement is relatively infrequent, with the masseter muscle being the most commonly affected site. We present a rare case of intramuscular hemangiomas arising from the semispinalis muscle. A 31-year-old male presented with a painless swelling in the left upper neck region, gradually increasing in size over the past year. Imaging studies revealed a well-defined mass originating from the semispinalis muscle. Surgical excision was performed successfully, and histological examination confirmed the diagnosis of a mixed intramuscular hemangioma. The patient remained recurrence-free during the 2-year follow-up period. Intramuscular hemangiomas in the posterior neck muscles are rare, with only a few reported cases. Wide surgical resection with control of feeding vessels is the optimal treatment, and follow-up is recommended to monitor for local recurrence. This case report highlights the clinical presentation, diagnostic challenges, and successful surgical management of intramuscular hemangiomas in a unique location, emphasizing the importance of accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment of this rare tumor.
