Splenic Infarct Masquerading as Myocardial Infarction.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Splenic infarction is an uncommon cause of abdominal pain. Diabetes increases the risk of blood vessel occlusion and consequent tissue infarction due to blood vessel abnormalities such as atherosclerosis or thrombosis. Systemic thromboembolism secondary to myocardial infarction is associated with an increased risk of morbidity and mortality. We report the case of a 45-year-old woman with uncontrolled diabetes who presented to the emergency department with the sole complaint of left upper quadrant pain. Upon investigations, it was discovered that she had concomitant splenic and myocardial infarctions. This case demonstrates the significance of thrombotic complications in various organs in patients with uncontrolled diabetes mellitus. Clinicians should have a high suspicion of acute vascular infarction of several organs in poorly controlled diabetic patients with nonspecific symptoms.
