Kaposiform hemangioendothelioma complicated by Kasabach-Merritt phenomenon in an infant girl.
Article in Clinical case reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Key Clinical Message: We report a successful treatment course of an infant with mediastinal Kaposiform hemangioendothelioma. As the current complex of diseases is rare and calls for highly specialized treatment, large prospective studies are lacking. This case provides an example of balanced treatment complicated by Kasabach-Merritt phenomenon, life-threatening infections, and pericardial effusion. Abstract: Kaposiform hemangioendothelioma (KHE) and tufted angioma are vascular benign tumors that can be associated with the rare condition Kasabach-Merritt Phenomenon (KMP). KMP is characterized by consumption coagulopathy with severe thrombocytopenia, hypofibrinogenemia, and elevated D-dimer. We here report successful treatment of a female infant with a mediastinal KHE where treatment was complicated by KMP, life-threatening infections, and pericardial effusion. Due to the absence of randomized clinical trials, there is currently no standardized treatment protocol available for KHE. In our case, the infant was treated successfully with prednisolone, vincristine, and sirolimus.
