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

A 48-year-old woman underwent transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE) for a splenic artery aneurysm, which resulted in a partial splenic infarction in the middle lobe. Five years after TAE, a 20-mm diameter mass in the noninfarcted area of the spleen was detected on imaging, which grew to 25 mm in diameter after 6 months. MRI after gadolinium administration showed a 35 × 34 mm mass within the superior pole and 15 × 12 mm mass within the inferior pole. The patient underwent laparoscopic splenectomy and had an uneventful postoperative recovery. No evidence of recurrence was observed during the 2-year follow-up period after surgery. The mass was pathologically confirmed to be sclerosing angiomatoid nodular transformation (SANT) of the spleen. While some studies hypothesize that SANT is a response to vascular injury or trauma, to the best of our knowledge, there have been no previous reports of SANT occurring after procedures directly affecting splenic blood flow. Additionally, multifocal SANTs are reported to be very rare, accounting for only 4.7% of all reported SANTs of the spleen. We highlight a rare course of SANT of the spleen and discuss the possible relationship between blood flow abnormalities and the appearance of SANT.
