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

Sclerosing angiomatoid nodular transformation (SANT) of the spleen is an extremely rare benign lesion. We herein report a case of asymptomatic SANT of the spleen in a middle-aged woman with early breast carcinoma and an undiagnosed splenic mass, which was successfully treated by laparoscopic splenectomy and diagnosed postoperatively. We also review the literature on SANT to help make knowledge more accessible when clinicians encounter a splenic tumor. The present case taught us the following lesson: the presence of a splenic lesion during follow-up for malignancy is not always indicative of metastasis. Therefore, SANT should be considered in the differential diagnosis.
