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

backgroundDiagnosis of aortic graft infections (AGI) is challenging. Here, we report a case of AGI with splenomegaly and splenic infarction. CASE PRESENTATION: A 46-year-old man who underwent total arch replacement for Stanford type A acute aortic dissection one year prior presented to our department with fever, night sweat, and a 20-kg weight loss over several months. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) revealed splenic infarction with splenomegaly, fluid collection, and thrombus around the stent graft. Positron emission tomography-CT (PET-CT) revealed abnormal

conclusionsSplenic infarction and splenomegaly are the clinical findings of endocarditis but are rare in graft infection. These findings could be helpful to diagnose graft infections, which is often challenging.
