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

introductionThe accessory spleen (AS) is a condition that results from improper placement of spleen cells. About 95 % of ASs are located in the splenic hilum proximal to the tail of the pancreas. Here we present a 23-year-old male diagnosed with AS in the appendix, following an episode of acute appendicitis. CASE PRESENTATION: A 23-year-old male patient who presented with typical symptoms of appendicitis and the examination and paraclinical findings were in favor of appendicitis. Intraoperative findings showed an inflamed appendix and a 2 cm solid mass in the mesoappendix. The pathology report showed acute appendicitis and normal spleen tissue.

conclusionThe current study indicated an abnormal location of AS placed in the mesoappendix, which was presented with an episode of acute appendicitis.
