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

backgroundSplenic rupture associated with Behçet's syndrome (BS) is extremely rare, and there is no consensus on its management. In this case report, a patient with BS-associated splenic rupture was successfully treated with splenic artery embolization (SAE) and had a good prognosis after the intervention. CASE SUMMARY: The patient was admitted for pain in the left upper abdominal quadrant. He was diagnosed with splenic rupture. Multiple oral and genital aphthous ulcers were observed, and acne scars were found on his back. He had a 2-year history of BS diagnosis, with symptoms of oral and genital ulcers. At that time, he was treated with oral corticosteroids for 1 month, but the symptoms did not alleviate. He underwent SAE to treat the rupture. On the first day after SAE, the patient reported a complete resolution of abdominal pain and was discharged 5 d later. Three months after the intervention, a computed tomography examination showed that the splenic hematoma had formed a stable cystic effusion, suggesting a good prognosis.

conclusionSAE might be a good choice for BS-associated splenic rupture based on good surgical practice and material selection.
