Hidden hemorrhage: A case of idiopathic omental hemorrhage causing spontaneous hemoperitoneum.
Article in Journal of the American College of Emergency Physicians open, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Idiopathic omental hemorrhage (IOH) is a rare and underexplored entity in current medical literature. Most patients are male, aged 20-65 years, presenting with abdominal pain. Like most presentations of active intra-abdominal bleeding, recognition, stabilization, and definitive management are key. Expedited diagnosis and treatment of this condition is imperative as mortality rates can exceed 30% in cases due to delays of care. Presented here is a case of a young male with abdominal pain and recurrent emesis, ultimately diagnosed with bleeding from the greater omentum. He had been discharged from the emergency department the previous day. This patient's presentation highlights the importance of having high clinical suspicion for IOH in patients with recurrent or intractable nausea and emesis with persistent abdominal pain and utilizing advanced imaging for unexplained symptoms.
