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

Advanced liver disease is associated with several haemostatic alterations which can lead to either thrombosis or bleeding complications. Spontaneous muscle haematomas although a rare complication of liver cirrhosis is increasingly being described in the literature and hyperfibrinolysis is an emerging plausible pathophysiological mechanism. We describe a patient who presented with a life threatening spontaneous haematoma in his gastrocnemius muscle that required treatment with antifibrinolytic therapy to control further bleeding.
