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

Spontaneous hemoperitoneum (SH) is defined as the presence of blood within the peritoneal cavity from a non-traumatic origin. The absence of clinical suspicion and its low frequency render it a challenging diagnosis in the emergency setting. As it is a potentially life-threatening condition, radiologists play a fundamental role in the identification and location of the source of bleed, both essential to be able to deliver the best care possible for the patient. This review article aims to facilitate a practical approach to SH: We will begin by reviewing key imaging modalities of significant value for the detection and characterization of SH. Relevant anatomy and important CT signs to know will be mentioned. We will summarize the potential causes of SH in order of frequency, with a brief mention of differential diagnoses to consider. Finally, we will illustrate this review with a collection of cases from our hospital to showcase relevant diagnoses to consider when facing a patient with SH, focusing on key imaging elements that should not be overlooked.
