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

introductionFishbone penetrating from the stomach into the spleen, causing a splenic abscess, is an extremely rare condition. CASE PRESENTATION: We report a case of fishbone penetration from the stomach into the spleen, presenting as a splenic abscess and acute peritonitis, diagnosed pre-operatively with a contrast-enhanced CT scan of the abdomen and subsequently managed with spleen-preserving surgery. DISCUSSION: Fishbone penetration from the stomach into the spleen, causing a splenic abscess, which is an extremely rare occurrence. We successfully diagnosed and managed this case with spleen-preserving surgery, and the patient recovered well.

conclusionA rare case of fishbone penetration from the stomach into the spleen causing a splenic abscess was diagnosed radiologically pre-operatively and managed by a spleen-preserving procedure.
