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

rationaleSclerosing angiomatoid nodular transformation (SANT) is a rare case which usually occurs in spleen, but our case occurs in accessory spleen. PATIENT CONCERNS: We reported a case of a 27 year old man who was identified with an isodense mass in the left abdominal cavity by ultrasonicphysical examination without symptoms. Blood routine and tumor markers (alpha fetal protein, carcinoembryonic antigen, CA19-9, CA125) were normal. DIAGNOSES: The tumor was firstly diagnosed as left abdominal mass and its origin was considered as small intestinal by the radiologist. The pathological diagnosis was the sclerosing angiomatoid nodular transformation (SANT) of the accessory spleen.

interventionsLaparoscopic splenectomy is a more reliable method for the treatment of SANT. OUTCOMES: Non-enhanced CT showed iso-intensity lesion of the accessory spleen, and enhanced CT showed progressive enhancement. According to the above characteristics, we should consider the diagnosis of spleen SANT. We reviewed some literatures to summarize the characteristics of SANT.
