Unveiling Infantile Hemangiomas: A Comprehensive Study of Patterns, Presentations, and Complications.

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 hemangioma is the most common vascular tumor in infants, affecting 4% to 10% of this population. It typically appears as a solitary cutaneous hemangioma but can also be multifocal or segmental. The condition progresses through rapid growth, a plateau phase, and gradual involution. Key risk factors include low birth weight, prematurity, female sex, multiple gestations, and family history. Clinical presentation varies among individuals.
objectiveThis study aimed to analyze the clinical characteristics of patients with infantile hemangioma at our hospital, focusing on age at onset, presentation, location, size, type, and complications.
methodsA retrospective analysis of medical records of infants diagnosed with infantile hemangioma was conducted. Data were collected for statistical analysis on demographics, lesion characteristics, and complications.
resultsThe study reviewed 694 hemangiomas in 500 patients, with 50% having a precursor lesion at birth. A significant female predominance (72%) was noted, with most patients (72%) delivered at term. The strawberry mass was the most common morphology (74%), primarily located in the head and neck (42%). Of the hemangiomas, 45% were superficial, and 88% showed progressive growth. Ten patients with periocular hemangiomas experienced amblyopia, while other complications included PHACES syndrome, ipsilateral breast hypertrophy, and arteriovenous malformations.
conclusionThis study highlights the diverse manifestations, anomalies, and risk factors associated with infantile hemangioma in a tertiary care setting.
