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

backgroundHospitalized and severely ill coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients necessitate prophylactic or therapeutic anticoagulation to minimize the risk of thrombosis at different sites. Life-threatening bleeding complications include spontaneous iliopsoas hematoma, peritoneal bleeding, and extra-abdominal manifestations such as intracranial hemorrhage. CASE SUMMARY: Bleeding in the abdominal wall results in less severe complications than seen with iliopsoas hematoma or peritoneal bleeding. In our case series of 9 patients, we present retroperitoneal and abdominal bleeding complications following anticoagulation in hospitalized COVID-19 patients with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 pneumonia. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CE-CT) is the best imaging modality for assessing hematoma secondary to anticoagulation and determines the therapeutic approach, whether interventional, surgical, or conservative management.

conclusionWe present the role of CE-CT for rapid and precise localization of the bleeding site and prognostic counseling. Finally, we provide a brief review of the literature.
