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

Kaposiform hemangioendothelioma (KHE) is a rare vascular tumor of infancy, characterized by an infiltrative, firm, and ill-defined plaque that may be associated with the Kasabach-Merritt phenomenon. While the diagnosis is primarily clinical and histopathological, dermoscopy may provide valuable insights into its microstructural features. We present the case of a newborn with congenital KHE involving the lumbar and right gluteal region, focusing on its dermoscopic characteristics. The lesion exhibited a homogeneous, grayish-blue background with no discernible vascular structures, a feature that may aid in differentiating KHE from other vascular tumors. The findings contribute to the understanding of dermoscopic patterns in KHE, highlighting its potential role in early diagnosis.
