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

Hematomas are often associated with benign processes such as sport-related injuries, postsurgical complications, and medications such as blood thinners. Rarely, hematomas can occur spontaneously without any identifiable cause or recollection of an inciting event. Such events can lead to inaccurately diagnosing a patient, which could delay or alter treatment and worsen the patient's prognosis. This patient reported sudden-onset abdominal pain with radiation to her back and denied any recent medication use or trauma while at home. The case highlights the key radiographic findings of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and contrast-enhanced ultrasound to eventually confirm an obscure case of hepatocellular carcinoma and help guide management.
