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

The cause of pelvic pain remains a significant diagnostic challenge, even for experienced radiologists. An accurate differential diagnosis has to be done according to the patient's age and gender. Spontaneous round ligament hematoma is an uncommon cause of acute pelvic pain in adult female patients. To the best of our knowledge, it has never been reported in the literature in the paediatric population. Ultrasound examination is the first line imaging modality for pelvic pain evaluation in young women but it might result inconclusive. Thanks to its panoramic view and multiparametric approach, the MRI can play a pivotal role in the diagnosis of spontaneous round ligament hematoma in paediatric female patients, resulting in a more effective patient's therapeutic management.
