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

Situs inversus is a rare anomaly characterized by mirror-image location of of thoracic and abdominal organs. It can be associated with several other malformations including common mesentery which is a rare type of malrotation that develops as a result of the rotation of the intestines and with wandering spleen which is a rare anomaly characterized by the unusual position of the spleen in the abdomen and that most often occurs in children. We here report the case of a male patient aged 8 years diagnosed with these three entities. He was admitted with chronic abdominal pain. Ultrasound assessment was performed. Clinical examination showed sensitive pelvic mass. Ultrasound objectified abnormal position of the liver and spleen (the liver in the left hypochondrium and the spleen in the right hypochondrium) and an oval isoechogenic mass characterized by tissue structures within the echo image in the spleen, located in the supravesical fossa, lateralized to the right. CT scan confirmed that the liver occupied both hypochondria, with the hilus and gallbladder found on the midline; the splenic fossa was empty and the supra-vesical pelvic mass was homogeneous, isodense to splenic parenchyma and raised in the same way to the spleen (it was a floating spleen), its arterial vascular pedicle was directly connected to the abdominal aorta. Intestinal rotation abnormality suggesting common mesentery was also objectified.
