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

introductionSclerosing Angiomatoid Nodular Transformation of the spleen is a benign vascular lesion with no known etiology. PRESENTATION OF CASE: We report a new case in a symptomatic twenty-one-year old female with thrombocytopenia and a hypervascular splenic mass discovered on ultrasound. Two MRIs were performed prior to hand-assisted laparoscopic splenectomy. The specimen was sent for histopathologic analysis with confirmation of final diagnosis from an outside facility. DISCUSSION: Sclerosing Angiomatoid Nodular Transformation of the spleen is most often discovered incidentally as a solitary splenic mass. The presence of a spoke-wheel pattern should alert the radiologist to this as a possibility.

conclusionUltrasound and MR imaging findings can be used to accurately diagnose cases of splenic Sclerosing Angiomatoid Nodular Transformation. Susceptibility artifact within the lesion may be directly related to the amount of iron deposition.
