Atraumatic splenic rupture associated with COVID-19.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Atraumatic splenic rupture (ASR) is a rare but life-threatening condition. Several underlying pathologies have been associated with a splenic rupture in the absence of trauma, most often malignant-haematological disorders, viral infections or local inflammatory disorders. The management of ASR is similar to traumatic splenic rupture and includes early risk stratification of patients to determine those eligible for non-operative treatment versus those who need immediate surgical intervention. In this report, we discuss a rare case of a non-operatively managed ASR in an otherwise healthy young patient with SARS-CoV-2 as the likely aetiology. The multisystemic nature of the ongoing novel COVID-19 is evident, but not all manifestations are yet known. This case report underlines the challenge for physicians in terms of recognising and treating emergent complications of this new disease.
