Sclerothrapy of giant lymphatic malformation in neonates.
Article in Journal of perinatology : official journal of the California Perinatal Association, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
objectiveTo analyze the sclerotherapy of giant (≥8 mm) lymphatic malformations in neonates and discuss effective treatment.
methodsThis was a single-center retrospective study. Twelve patients received bleomycin (BLM) (six patients) or BLM combined with polidocanol (POL) (eight patients). The safety and effects of BLM and BLM + POL were analyzed using a t-test for categorical data and likelihood ratios or Fisher's exact test for continuous data. Factors resulting in an increased number of treatment sessions were studied.
resultsTreatment began 2-5 days after birth. The patients in the BLM group underwent more treatment sessions. Gestational age, lesion size and type, total response, and complications showed no significant differences between groups. Larger and mixed-ype lesions required more treatment sessions.
conclusionsBoth BLM group and BLM + POL group appear relatively safe and effective in neonates with giant lymphatic malformations. The combination of the two agents reduced the number of procedures and general anesthesia required.
