Real-World Data on the Use of Sirolimus in Asian Children with Vascular Malformations.

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
objectivesThe management of vascular malformations is complex and challenging. This study aimed to explore efficacy, plasma trough concentrations of sirolimus, post-withdrawal conditions, and adverse reactions of sirolimus in treating complex vascular malformations.
methodsIn our center, we analyzed vascular malformations treated with sirolimus (and corticosteroid) from August 2017 to June 2021. Meanwhile, we reviewed the medical records, the efficacy, side effects, and laboratory tests. Patients who had stopped taking sirolimus were followed up by telephone.
resultsA total of 25 patients with complicated vascular malformations in our center, including 7 females and 18 males aged 4 months to 15 years, were enrolled. In all, 19 patients (76.0%) responded to sirolimus, and the plasma concentration of sirolimus fluctuated between 0.97 and 27.15 ng/ml. In all, 24 patients (96.0%) were in follow-up. A total of 15 patients (62.5%) stopped taking sirolimus during follow-up, and 2 patients (13.3%) discontinued the sirolimus due to side effects. A total of 3 patients (20.0%) restarted sirolimus treatment.
