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

Splenic rupture is a life-threatening condition that is most frequently of traumatic etiology. Atraumatic or spontaneous splenic rupture is much rarer and less frequently reported. We present a case of an 84-year-old male patient initially hospitalized for pneumonia, who developed sudden abdominal pain and hemodynamic instability. Further investigations revealed a spontaneous splenic rupture. Histopathological examination postsplenectomy identified a splenic hamartoma, which had not been visualized on prior imaging studies.
