High-output cardiac failure and severe pulmonary hypertension due to congenital hepatic hemangioma: a case report.
Article in The Pan African medical journal, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Hepatic hemangioma is a benign tumor, but may lead to poor outcomes because of various complications. Very rarely presents with high-output congestive heart failure and severe pulmonary hypertension and, if not diagnosed and treated timely can be fatal. We report a challenging case of a term male baby admitted with abdominal distention and respiratory distress on day 2 of life. Post-natal ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) confirmed the diagnosis of liver hemangioma. Echocardiography (ECHO) showed severe pulmonary hypertension and high-output congestive heart failure. Baby was finally treated with hepatic lobectomy and resection of the hemangioma, which resulted in resolution of pulmonary hypertension and cardiac failure. In infants with cardiorespiratory compromise secondary to cardiac failure and pulmonary hypertension, coexisting congenital hemangioma should be considered as one of primary causes.
