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

We report a rare case of a pediatric spinal capillary hemangioma with both intramedullary and extramedullary components in association with a dorsal cutaneous lesion. The patient, a 13-month-old girl, initially presented with a soft tissue mass on her lower back. MRI revealed a lesion extending from the conus medullaris to L4, initially misinterpreted as a mature teratoma. Due to the emergence of new urodynamic abnormalities, surgical exploration revealed a reddish-brown, moderately firm tumor with tethering of the spinal cord, which was partially resected under intraoperative neuromonitoring. Histopathological findings confirmed capillary hemangioma. To date, only 13 pediatric cases have been reported, and our case represents the first with combined intra- and extramedullary involvement and cutaneous stigmata. This case highlights the importance of including vascular tumors in the differential diagnosis of spinal dysraphism with skin markers and underscores the value of early surgical intervention to prevent neurological decline.
