A Case of Rapidly Progressive Subglottic Hemangioma in an Infant: Early Propranolol Therapy Prevented Tracheostomy.
Article in Cureus, 2025. 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
Subglottic hemangioma is a rare but potentially life-threatening cause of neonatal airway obstruction. We report the case of a preterm infant who developed rapidly progressive biphasic stridor at 36 days of life. Flexible laryngoscopy revealed a subglottic mass, and contrast-enhanced computed tomography demonstrated a well-circumscribed, enhancing lesion causing >70% airway narrowing. Following careful airway planning, the patient was intubated safely and treated with oral propranolol, resulting in marked regression within 10 days and successful extubation without tracheostomy. The infant remained symptom-free, with no recurrence at 24 months. This case highlights the importance of early recognition of biphasic stridor, prompt laryngoscopic evaluation, and timely propranolol initiation, which may avert invasive surgical interventions.
