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

Spleen is typically injured in blunt abdominal trauma. Spleen injuries make 42% of all blunt abdominal injuries. The aim of this study was to perform a retrospective assessment of the cases of acute and subacute isolated traumatic spleen ruptures.A retrospective study performed on 50 patients, whose cause of death was isolated spleen rupture and bleeding into the abdominal cavity.An acute spleen rupture was diagnosed in 47 cases, whereas the rest 3 cases demonstrated a subacute rupture. In cases of acute spleen rupture, the mean weight of spleen was 309.6 g, whereas in 3 cases of subacute rupture the mean weight of the organ achieved 710 g. The mean weight of spleen in the control group with no spleen rupture was 144.7 g.Recording of the cases of isolated acute and subacute traumatic spleen ruptures and morphological assessment of them are important in forensic pathology science and in clinical practice as well.
