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

Gorham-Stout disease (GSD) is a rare, non-hereditary, bone disease characterised by progressive osteolysis as a result of uncontrolled proliferation of endothelial-lined vessels replacing normal bone. We present a baby-girl with the classic radiological features of GSD and compatible clinical and histological findings, who developed progressive disease for over 2 years despite propranolol treatment. Propranolol treatment was stopped and sirolimus monotherapy started which resulted in near-complete resolution after 1 year, with no recurrence after discontinuation of treatment. This case not only illustrates the typical features of GSD on a variety of imaging modalities, but is also the first report showing stark contrast in response between propranolol and sirolimus treatment for GSD, highlighting how targeting lymphatic, rather than solely angiomatous, proliferation at the vascular endothelial growth factor-level may be a future direction.
