Intracranial Infantile Hemangioma: Highlighting a Rare Presentation With a Case Report and Literature Review.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Infantile hemangioma is a common benign vascular tumor in children, but it is very unusual to be found intracranially. Our literature review identified 44 reported cases. Presentation can vary from asymptomatic to a life-threatening presentation that necessitates urgent surgical removal. There is no general consensus on management of these rare lesions and until recently, treatment was limited to surgery or pharmacological management with steroids, propranolol or interferon. We present a case of a four-week-old male infant with history of vomiting and increase in head circumference since birth. MRI of the brain revealed a large complex cyst occupying the right frontoparietal region, with round soft tissue component that is isointense on T1 and hyperintense on T2 weighted images. Complete surgical resection with evacuation of the cyst was achieved. Histopathology of the mass showed infantile hemangioma with positive CD31 on immunohistochemistry. The patient achieved an excellent outcome following surgical resection.
