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

Histologically benign splenic cysts (SCs) resemble splenic sacs. SCs are rare. Here, we present and discuss a new case of bilateral endometriotic cystic ovaries with massive SCs. A 26-year-old single female visited the hospital with left lower quadrant discomfort and suprapubic pain for three months, accompanied by anorexia, weight loss for these three months, and persistent dysmenorrhea for two years. Splenic examination revealed a soft abdomen with left hypochondria, suprapubic tenderness, and a lump in the upper left quadrant. All laboratory results were normal, except for two cancer antigens (CA-125 and CA 19-9). Therefore, magnetic resonance imaging was used to make the definitive diagnosis, which revealed bilateral ovarian endometrioma with a left upper abdominal cystic mass of splenic origin. When CA-125 and CA-19-9 readings are high, physicians should investigate endometriotic and SCs. Imaging aids diagnosis. Histopathological results are essential. Tools and follow-up should rule out malignancy, and surgery is the best treatment option.
