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

Cross-sectional interventional radiology (CSIR) for the spleen has evolved over the past two decades. Contemporary data show that CT- and US-guided splenic procedures are safer than once assumed, allowing for biopsy and drainage when clinically appropriate. Prior to intervention, however, close imaging evaluation of splenic lesions is required in order to recognize definitively benign, "do not touch" lesions as well as suspicious features that might warrant biopsy. This manuscript will first focus on imaging workup and decision-making for splenic lesions, and then discuss modern CSIR techniques to maximize both safety and yield.
