Atypical development and swift resolution of an ulcerated hemangioma: a case report.
Article in Journal of medical case reports, 2025. 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
backgroundInfantile hemangiomas are considered as the most common benign vascular tumors in pediatric patients. Ulceration is one of the most frequent complications that typically occur at 2-3 months after birth. CASE PRESENTATION: A Caucasian Georgian male infant started to develop a hemangioma at 5 days old. At 3 weeks old, a pediatrician diagnosed it, and the patient was referred to a dermatologist. A week after starting initial treatment, at 4 weeks of age, the hemangioma ulcerated. Despite changing the initial treatment, the ulceration worsened. At 6 weeks old, topical timolol and mupirocin were initiated, leading to complete healing within 4 weeks. Timolol is still being applied, and follow-up visits showed no further ulceration.
conclusionAlthough the exact cause of the unusual ulcer development is unknown, we advise physicians to avoid prescribing topical ointments that have not been proven effective and safe for treating hemangioma.
