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

A 27-year-old man presented with acute right upper quadrant abdominal pain and vomiting. He was clinically in hypovolaemic shock. Investigations revealed normocytic anaemia with a normal bilirubin and moderate liver function test abnormalities. CT abdomen and pelvis demonstrated haemoperitoneum and a large solitary hepatic mass in segments V and VI, suspicious for a ruptured hepatic tumour. Massive transfusion protocol was commenced and angioembolisation of the inferior branch of the right hepatic artery was undertaken. Despite this, his haemorrhagic shock was resistant to resuscitation. Thus, he underwent emergent exploratory laparotomy, which resulted in segments V and VI liver resection and packing. Re-look laparotomy 2 days following initial exploration was performed where haemostasis was confirmed. Histopathology revealed a ruptured well-differentiated hepatocellular adenoma. The patient made a good recovery following a 2-week admission.
