Atraumatic splenic rupture and infection-related glomerulonephritis in a patient with infected aortic aneurysm: A case report.

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
introductionAtraumatic splenic rupture is very rare and the case is often difficult to determine. We report a case of atraumatic splenic rupture in a patient with an infected aortic aneurysm. CASE PRESENTATION: A 40-year-old man under evaluation and treatment for renal dysfunction presented with the sudden onset of epigastric pain. The patient had a previous history of aortic arch replacement for Stanford type B aortic dissection. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography revealed intraabdominal hemorrhaging around the spleen and intrasplenic extravasation of contrast medium, and atraumatic splenic rupture was diagnosed. The patient slipped into hemorrhagic shock, and emergency splenectomy was scheduled. The histopathological diagnosis was splenic rupture with splenic infarction. The patient became febrile on postoperative day 10. Repeat contrast-enhanced computed tomography revealed enlargement of a cystic aortic aneurysm that was present prior to splenectomy. Infected aortic aneurysm was suspected, which was confirmed following thoracic endovascular aortic repair performed on postoperative day 12. DISCUSSION: We consider that splenic rupture occurred following infected of the kidney and spleen by an infected aortic aneurysm.
conclusionInfection should be considered as a cause in patients with atraumatic splenic rupture.
