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

rationaleKaposiform hemangioendothelioma (KHE) is an aggressive vascular tumor, mainly occurring in infants and young children and previously reported cases were mainly cutaneous or visceral form. Intestinal kaposiform hemangioma was first reported in 2012. Intestinal type KHE showed better prognosis if the lesion was limited in the gastrointestinal tract and coagulopathy was not accompanied. Since the number of reported cases is small, further study for treatment options and prognosis need to be done. PATIENT CONCERNS: We described the case of a 1-month-old female who had abdominal distention and bilious vomiting. DIAGNOSES: She was suspected as intestinal obstruction after diagnostic work up.

interventionsSurgical exploration was performed and jejunal obstruction with a mass was identified. Small bowel segmental resection and anastomosis was performed. OUTCOMES: The patient discharged with symptom free. Through the pathological examination, the mass was identified as intestinal type KHE. LESSONS: Intestinal KHE can cause bowel obstruction and be managed successfully with complete surgical resection. More cases should be reported and further evaluation for treatment options and prognosis evaluation is necessary.
