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

Hemangiomas are common benign vascular tumors that often present in childhood. The 595 nm pulsed dye laser (PDL) is now being widely used to treat vascular skin lesions. This case series was performed to review the therapeutic efficacy and safety of PDL in the treatment of hemangiomas among Vietnamese patients. A total of 43 Vietnamese patients (79.1% females), mean age was 8.83 years old (2 months - 54 years old), with a clinical diagnosis of hemangioma, were treated with the PDL over 2 years. Treatments were performed every 4 weeks. Hemangioma lesions that occur on the head and the neck are seen in 65.1%, 67.4% of superficial, and 32.6% of mixed hemangioma subtypes. The mean treatment is 5.3 times. Excellent-good results were achieved in 86.1%, average results in 11.6%. No permanent side effects during the treatments were observed. Treatment of hemangiomas using the 595 nm PDL is an effective and safe method in the skin types of Vietnamese patients. The effect does require several treatment sessions.
