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

aimAn infantile hemangioma (IH) affecting the airway is rare. Identifying infants at risk for an airway IH is crucial to avoid potential airway compromise. Our objective was to identify risk factors for an airway IH and to study its incidence and treatments.

methodsThis study included 798 children with an IH visiting our paediatric vascular anomaly unit between 1.1.2008 and 31.12.2017. Patient demographics and IH-related data were retrospectively reviewed to identify factors predisposing to an underlying airway IH.

resultsAn airway IH was diagnosed in 1.6% of the cohort. When a segmental beard distribution hemangioma was present, the risk for an airway IH was 33.3%, and when a non-beard distribution segmental hemangioma on the face or neck was observed, the risk was 11.5%. Focal hemangiomas were seen in 38.5% of infants with an airway IH, mostly in the perioral or nasal area. Propranolol was sufficient treatment for 80.0% of infants with an airway IH.

conclusionsThe presence of a segmental beard distribution hemangioma involved the highest risk for an underlying airway IH. Children with other types of segmental IHs on the face or neck, or those with focal perioral and nasal hemangiomas were also at risk for airway involvement.
