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

Infantile hepatic hemangioma (IHH) can cause severe complications such as high-output cardiac failure and growth faltering, requiring prompt diagnosis and intervention. In the absence of standardized treatment guidelines, propranolol has emerged as an effective and well-tolerated therapy. We report a female infant with multifocal IHH who presented with high-output cardiac failure, hepatomegaly, and growth faltering. She experienced rapid and sustained clinical as well as radiologic improvement with propranolol therapy. This case reinforces propranolol's role as a safe, effective first-line therapy for symptomatic IHH and underscores the importance of early multidisciplinary care.
