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

This case report evaluated the utilization of MR-guided ablation for a refractory painful slow-flow vascular malformation in the plantar aspect of the left foot in a 6-year-old male patient. Initially, MR-guided laser ablation was performed followed by MR-guided cryoablation 5 years later. Procedures were performed under general anesthesia using a 1.5-T Philips MRI system with real-time MRI guidance and monitoring. Pain outcomes were assessed using patient-reported improvement. The lesion diameter was 3.7 cm in the longest axis. The patient achieved sustained pain relief for 5 years after the initial laser ablation then MR-guided cryoablation which has given him 6 years of relief so far. No major complications occurred.
