Risk assessment and prognostic analysis of patients with splenic infarction in emergency department: a multicenter retrospective study.
Article in Scientific reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
Splenic infarction is a thromboembolic disease that is frequently missed in acute settings. Previous reviews were rarely presented from a clinical perspective. We aimed to evaluate the clinical characteristics, risk factors with diagnostic value, and prognostic factors using large cohort data and a matched case-control study method. A retrospective medical record review of six hospitals in Taiwan from January 1, 2005, to August 31, 2020, was conducted. All patients who underwent contrast CT with confirmed the diagnosis of splenic infarction were included. Their characteristics were presented and compared to a matched control group with similar presenting characteristics. Prognostic factors were also analyzed. A total of 130 cases were included, two-thirds of whom presented with abdominal pain. Atrial fibrillation was the most common associated predisposing condition, followed by hematologic disease. A higher proportion of tachycardia, positive qSOFA score, history of hypertension or atrial fibrillation, leukocytosis, and thrombocytopenia were found in splenic infarction patients compared to their counterparts. An underlying etiology of infective endocarditis was associated with a higher proportion of ICU admission. Splenic infarction patients often presented with left upper abdominal pain and tachycardia. A history of hypertension, atrial fibrillation, a laboratory result of leukocytosis or thrombocytopenia may provide a clue for clinicians to include splenic infarction in the differential list. Among the patients diagnosed with splenic infarction, those with an underlying etiology of infectious endocarditis may be prone to deterioration or ICU admission.
