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

Rectus sheath hematoma (RSH) is a condition caused by hemorrhage into the rectus sheath. A 61-year-old man with end-stage renal failure and rheumatoid arthritis presented to our hospital with abdominal pain. The patient had been receiving biweekly self-injections of certolizumab pegol to the abdominal wall. Computed tomography (CT) demonstrated a large high-density left-sided RSH. Abdominal pain gradually exacerbated; thus, transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE) for the left inferior epigastric artery (IEA) was performed. This is the first reported case of RSH caused by certolizumab pegol. Factors contributing to RSH include low abdominal wall fat, the use of auto-injector-based preparations, and anticoagulant use in dialysis.
