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

Accessory spleen rupture can induce acute abdominal bleeding following minimal trauma or by atraumatic mechanisms. Spleen rupture is more frequent in pediatric patients and those affected by hematological diseases. We described the case of a 59-year-old male patient affected by hereditary spherocytosis referred to the emergency department for abdominal left side pain. An early ultrasound performed in the emergency department allowed to diagnosed hemoperitoneum by spontaneous bleeding of hypertrophic accessory spleen. Although abdomen computed tomography is the diagnostic method of choice, ultrasound can early detect sign of emoperitoneum in the emergency setting in case of hemodinamically unstable patient.
