Sirolimus to the rescue: rapid therapeutic response in kaposiform hemangioendothelioma - case report and literature overview.
Review in BMC pediatrics, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Kaposiform hemangioendothelioma (KHE) is a rare, locally aggressive vascular tumour of childhood. Due to its infiltrative growth and possible development of Kasabach-Merritt phenomenon (KMP) if untreated, early intervention is mandatory. Sirolimus, an mTOR (mammalian target of rapamycin) inhibitor, that has been used extensively in children following solid organ transplantation. Due to its pleiotropic effects, including the downregulation of angiogenic processes, immunomodulation, and reduction of platelet consumption, it has also shown promise in the management of vascular anomalies (VAs) in children.We present our experience with a 7-month-old male patient with KHE of the lower limb and significant motor function impairment who was successfully treated with sirolimus.This case provides evidence of the growing significance of the high efficacy of sirolimus in the treatment of vascular tumours. It also highlights the need for the development of standardized treatment guidelines for VAs in the paediatric population.
