Clinical characteristics and outcomes of splenic infarction in cancer patients: a retrospective, single center report of 206 cases.
Article in Journal of thrombosis and thrombolysis, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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.
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
Cancer patients have a high risk of thromboembolic events including splenic infarct (SI). However, risk factors for SI in cancer patients are poorly understood, and the utility of systemic anticoagulation in such patients is uncertain. We performed a retrospective cohort study of all cancer patients with SI treated at Yale New Haven Hospital from 2008 to 2017. Central review of radiology imaging was performed to confirm the diagnosis of SI. Baseline differences in variables among patients with and without recurrent SI were compared using Fisher's exact test, Pearson's χ
