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

The authors report on the case of a 69-year-old female who presented to the emergency department due to exquisite abdominal pain she described as occurring after she coughed. Imaging revealed a rectus sheath hematoma (RSH). A RSH is an uncommon but significant cause of acute abdominal pain that occurs when blood accumulates in the sheath of the rectus abdominis muscle. It can be caused by a muscular tear or a ruptured epigastric artery and can happen spontaneously or after trauma. The etiology, presentation, diagnosis, and management are discussed.
