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

Capillary malformation (CM) is a congenital, non-hereditary lesion composed of enlarged and tortuous blood vessels. CM is associated with a somatic p.R183Q activating mutation in the Guanine nucleotide-binding protein G(q) subunit alpha (GNAQ) gene in endothelial cells (EC). Cutaneous CMs are present in 1/300 infants and in 55-70% of CM cases soft tissue overgrowth is observed. Pharmacotherapy for CM does not exist. Here we report a conditional mouse model allowing the simultaneous tissue specific expression of GNAQ p.R183Q and Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP) from the Rosa26 (R26) locus (R26
