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

Littoral cell angioma (LCA) is a primary splenic hemangioma found mostly in normal red sinus shore cells of the reticuloendothelial cell system of the spleen. In most cases is benign, but sometimes malignancies have been reported. This tumor displayed epithelial and histiocytic properties based on its cell of origin, splenic littoral cells. In this case report, we will describe a case of a 21-year-male presenting with an incidentally discovered LCA illustrated by cross-sectional imaging techniques, highlighting how the diffusional sequence and the positron emission tomography study, thanks to their greater specificity, have contributed to reaching a correct diagnostic orientation more than dynamic studies with contrast agent in both computed tomography and magnetic resonance.
