Birth-related soft tissue injury due to transverse malpresentation at delivery: a case report.
Article in Case reports in perinatal medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Objectives: Birth-related mechanical trauma to the newborn is an important issue and may be underestimated [Chaturvedi A, Chaturvedi A, Stanescu AL, Blickman JG, Meyers SP. Mechanical birth-related trauma to the neonate: an imaging perspective. Insights Imag 2018;9:103-18]. Risk factors for birth-related injuries include vacuum or forceps delivery, large size for gestational age and abnormal presentation before delivery [Gupta R, Cabacungan ET. Neonatal birth trauma: analysis of yearly trends, risk factors, and outcomes. J Pediatr 2021;238:174-80]. When a newborn has a soft tissue mass, there is a wide range of potential diagnoses, ranging from benign traumatic origins to aggressive phenotypes of malignant tumors [Thacker M. Benign soft tissue tumors in children. Orthop Clin N Am 2014;44:433-44]. Diagnosing a congenital tumor in a newborn creates uncertainty for parents and health care providers. Accurate imaging is crucial for distinguishing soft tissue mass origins. Case presentation: A 32 weeks 6 days pregnant Caucasian woman was admitted after premature prelabor rupture of membranes (PPROM). Fetal ultrasound showed no abnormalities, the infant was born by a caesarean section. The delivery was complicated by the infant's transverse position. A female infant was born with a large left-sided dorsal soft tissue mass at the thoracic level with elastic consistency, and multiple skin lacerations. A broad differential diagnosis was made. Additional imaging was suggestive for a posttraumatic swelling due to transverse position during birth. The mass decreased and disappeared over three days. Conclusions: The diagnosis of a soft tissue mass in a newborn can be challenging. A birth-related trauma affecting the soft tissue should be considered, especially if prenatal ultrasound findings were normal. Malpresentation during birth is a significant risk factor. Accurate diagnostic imaging is important to do before conducting further diagnostic examinations. The time course of the mass, before and after birth, can aid in determining its origin.
