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
backgroundIn patients with slow-flow vascular malformations (SFVMs) including venous malformations (VM), lymphatic malformations (LM) or Klippel-Trenaunay Syndrome (KTS), somatic gain-of-function mutations in genes encoding phosphatidyl inositol 3-kinase alpha (PI3Kα, gene name PIK3CA) have been identified. A phase 2 study was conducted with the patients to assess the efficacy and safety of ART-001 (serabelisib), an orally available selective PI3Kα inhibitor.
methodsThis is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, proof-of-concept, phase 2 trial. Eligible participants were patients aged 2 years and older, diagnosed either with VM, LM or KTS. Participants were administered either 50 or 100 mg of ART-001 for 24 weeks. The primary endpoint was the response rate defined as the proportion of participants who achieved ≥ 20% reduction in lesion volume at week 24. Secondary endpoints include safety, pharmacokinetics, pain, and quality of life scores.
resultsThirty-five patients (median age: 14 years old; VM, n = 17, KTS, n = 13 and LM, n = 5) were randomly assigned and received treatment (50 mg, n = 17 and 100 mg, n = 18). ART-001 showed a response rate: 29.4% (95% confidence interval 10.3-56.0%) at 50 mg and 33.3% (13.3-59.0%) at 100 mg. Mean lesion volume reductions at 50 mg and 100 mg were - 2.3% (95% CI - 14.3 to 9.6%) and - 12.6% (- 25.3 to 0.06%), respectively. No drug-related serious adverse events were observed. Treatment-emergent adverse events were generally mild to moderate and transient. Pharmacokinetic profiles were similar between pediatric and adolescent/adult patients except for lower C
conclusionART-001 was effective and well-tolerated in patients with SFVMs. These results support the further development of ART-001 in SFVMs and other PIK3CA-related overgrowth syndromes to confirm clinical benefits and long-term safety.
