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

Splenic abscesses in children are very rare, and multiple splenic abscesses are rarer. These lesions are difficult to diagnose quickly because of their low incidence and the low specificity of the associated clinical and imaging findings. The treatment of splenic abscesses includes conservative treatment, percutaneous drainage, and splenectomy, but the selection criteria for treatment are still unclear. We present a case of a 13-year-old girl with multiple splenic abscesses. Her blood culture report was negative. We eventually confirmed the diagnosis by enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The patient underwent a successful laparoscopic total splenectomy, and her symptoms were resolved thereafter.
