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

backgroundSplenic cyst complicated by non-typhoid Salmonella infection is rare in healthy individuals in the era of antibiotics. Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Livingstone causing infection of giant splenic cyst has not been previously reported. CASE PRESENTATION: We report a case of giant splenic cyst (maximum diameter, 21 cm) complicated with Salmonella Livingstone infection, which resulted in splenic abscess, in a 16-year-old previously healthy adolescent male. The splenic abscess was successfully treated with ultrasonography-guided percutaneous drainage and antimicrobial therapy.

conclusionInfection of splenic cyst may be caused by S. Livingstone in immunocompetent individuals. This case may help clinicians to raise awareness towards splenic abscess and highlights the importance of drainage and antimicrobial agents to avoid splenectomy.
