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

introductionSpontaneous rupture of the liver is a rare event often associated with the presence of malignant liver disease or occurring in the context of a HELLP syndrome. We present a case of spontaneous rupture of the liver in a patient admitted to our Intensive Care Department with hemoperitoneum in the aftermath of recent surgical clipping of a cerebral aneurysm. PRESENTATION OF CASE: We report a 50-year-old woman who was transferred from the Bolzano Hospital Department of Neurosurgery to the Intensive Care Unit with anemia and the occurrence of major abdominal pain. DISCUSSION: Spontaneous hepatic rupture remains a rare event, associated more often than not with pregnancy or traumatic events. The treatment of hemorrhage due to spontaneous rupture of the liver includes, in addition to serial monitoring of hemoglobin values, in cases of unstable patients, embolization, hepatic resection and packing.

conclusionThe case described here shows that spontaneous rupture of the liver may be due to indefinable causes and that its treatment remains complex and multidisciplinary.
