Contrast-enhanced ultrasound in the evaluation of splenic injury healing time and grade.
Article in La Radiologia medica, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers.
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
aimsTo assess mean healing time of blunt spleen injuries managed nonoperatively using CEUS (contrast-enhanced ultrasound); to analyze whether spleen injury grade, subcapsular hematoma (SCH) presence, SCH grade and spleen infarct after spleen artery angioembolization could be related to healing time; and to evaluate CEUS sensitivity in diagnosing spleen injury and to assess CEUS performance in classifying spleen injury grade compared to CT. MATERIALS AND
methodsAfter CT evaluation in the Emergency Department, 101 hemodynamic stable blunt spleen trauma patients (73 males; 28 females; mean age 46.4 years, range 18-92) underwent serial CEUS follow-up examinations at pre-established intervals (1, 3, 8, 15, 30, 60, 90 and 180 days after trauma), until spleen injury became no more identifiable.
resultsMean CEUS examinations performed before spleen injury healing were 4.5; mean spleen injury healing time was 22.6 days. Spleen injury healing time was significantly related to spleen injury grade, subcapsular hematoma (SCH) presence, SCH grade and spleen infarct. CEUS spleen injury diagnostic sensitivity was 96.9% and, according to the American Association for the Surgery of Trauma (AAST)-spleen injury scale (SIS), CEUS-CT concordance was 95.8%.
conclusionsSpleen injury healing time in blunt abdominal trauma nonoperatively managed is significantly related to AAST-SIS grade, SCH presence and grade, and spleen infarct development, and CEUS can be used in order to evaluate spleen injury grade.
