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

Verrucous venous malformation (VVM) is frequently misdiagnosed. This individual demonstrates the value of genetic testing to inform correct diagnosis. Consent was provided for retrospective chart review and publication. At birth, the affected individual had a red flat patch with overgrowth of his right hand, arm, and shoulder. The overgrowth and red color persisted and began to cause pain, which prompted his initial evaluation at age 10 years, leading to a diagnosis of a capillary vascular malformation and overgrowth. Routine magnetic resonance imaging of the right arm showed no definitive vascular anomaly. At 12 years old, hyperkeratosis prompted a biopsy for diagnosis. Pathology from 2 skin biopsies was most consistent with a capillary malformation and showed mildly acanthotic epidermis with hyperkeratosis overlying dilated, thin-walled vascular channels. We performed a 34-gene somatic genetic testing panel on the biopsy tissue. Results showed a likely pathogenic variant in the
