Fatal Hemoperitoneum Secondary to a Spontaneous Splenic Vein Rupture.

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
Spontaneous hemoperitoneum is rare and is often labeled as idiopathic because the source of bleeding is never found. We report the case of a 35-year-old male who died of a splenic vein rupture. The decedent was a chronic alcoholic with a reported history of cirrhosis and medication noncompliance. Internal examination revealed pale visceral organs, marked hemoperitoneum, a fibrotic/nodular liver, esophageal varices, and a ruptured splenic vein. Pertinent microscopic findings include liver parenchyma with bridging fibrous septa, nodules of regenerating hepatocytes, and the presence of Mallory-Denk bodies. The immediate cause of death was determined to be splenic vein rupture with the underlying cause of death being chronic alcoholism. This case is reported to emphasize the importance of correlating past medical history with thorough vascular dissection in cases of spontaneous hemoperitoneum. In a patient with fatal hemoperitoneum and risk factors for splenic vein pathology (ie, cirrhosis, portal vein hypertension), a high suspicion should be kept for splenic vein rupture.
