A Real Gut Punch: An Unexpected Diagnosis of Spontaneous Splenic Rupture.
Article in ACG case reports journal, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Atraumatic or spontaneous splenic rupture is a rare but life-threatening complication of infectious mononucleosis. We present a case of a 26-year-old man presenting with a 1-week history of sharp epigastric and right upper quadrant pain, associated with malaise and subjective fever. Although initial findings were concerning for acute cholangitis, abdominal computed tomography angiography scan revealed splenic rupture. Further exploration confirmed acute Epstein-Barr virus infection. Infectious mononucleosis must be considered in young patients with lymphocytosis, splenomegaly, and prolonged malaise. Awareness of this presentation will allow for timely diagnosis and treatment, thereby preventing potentially fatal complications of infectious mononucleosis such as splenic rupture.
