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

Background: Because adrenal glands are enveloped by Gerota's fascia, spontaneous hemostasis is achieved in most cases of traumatic adrenal injury. For this reason, adrenal injuries are often treated conservatively and rarely present a clinical problem. Case presentation: An 85-year-old man. He presented with right adrenal injury due to blunt trauma, fracture of the right transverse process of the 1st-4th lumbar vertebra, and fracture of the right 12th rib. A small amount of hematoma was observed around the adrenal gland, but his vital signs were stable and he was treated conservatively. However, on the 20th day of hospitalization, he developed sudden onset right-sided abdominal pain, hypotension, and restlessness. Contrast-enhanced CT scan revealed hemorrhagic shock due to delayed adrenal rupture, and emergency transcatheter arterial embolization was performed. A pseudoaneurysm formed at the time of injury was considered to have ruptured late. Conclusion: Delayed rupture after adrenal injury has never been reported in the past, and is a very rare occurrence. Prompt diagnosis and hemostatic treatment are necessary.
