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

Splenic rupture in a neonate is a rare but potentially fatal condition that may trigger evaluation for child abuse. It is a diagnosis of exclusion that has been reported in the surgical literature but may be underrecognized by pediatric radiologists. We report a case of a newborn with an unremarkable prenatal, delivery, and nursery course who presented with anemia, abdominal distension, and lethargy. Abdominal ultrasound with Doppler and computed tomography (CT) of the head, cervical spine, chest, abdomen, and pelvis without contrast showed findings of splenic rupture and anoxic brain injury. An extensive workup for traumatic, infectious, coagulopathic, and congenital etiologies was unrevealing, leading to a presumptive diagnosis of spontaneous splenic rupture in a neonate.
