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.

Case presentation: we present the case of a 37 years old male patient who suffers from chronic pain in the left hypochondrium.The abdominal examination finds a painful splenomegaly related to a biological bicytopenia. The CT Scan shows a 32 cm splenomegaly.An exploratory laparotomy with splenectomy was performed. The histological and immunohistochemical study confirmed The final diagnosis of Littoral Cell Angioma. Clinical discussion: Isolated splenomegaly of unknown etiology is the main clinical sign. Splenectomy is required for a diagnostic purpose and substratum for histological study. Conclusion: Littoral Cell Angioma of the Spleen is a rare benign vascular tumor, however it should be highlighted by clinical and radiological features, the definitive diagnosis is made upon histological study.
