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

Splenogonadal fusion in female patients is seldom reported. We describe a 6-month-old girl who represents the youngest living female with splenogonadal fusion reported to date. The lesion was diagnosed as an incidental finding during screening abdominal ultrasonography performed for a vulvar infantile hemangioma. A tail-like structure with splenic echotexture connecting a normally located spleen and the left ovary was detected and better characterized by MRI. We also reviewed the pertinent literature on managing this usually asymptomatic condition, especially in female patients. Greater professionals' awareness of this benign anomaly is paramount to avoid the unnecessary removal of an otherwise normal gonad.
