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

This report details a rare splenic rupture following left video-assisted thoracoscopic lobectomy in a 50-year-old male. Intraoperative tachycardia (78 → 110 bpm) and postoperative refractory hypotension (56/33 mmHg) progressed to hemorrhagic shock (Hb 57 g/L) at 90 min post-op. E-FAST confirmed splenic rupture with hemoperitoneum, leading to emergent splenectomy for a 3-cm diaphragmatic surface laceration (3000 mL blood loss). Unique features include: (i) Traction-mediated injury despite intact diaphragm; (ii) Diagnostic delay from nonspecific early signs. This case underscores the need for vigilance regarding remote organ injury in minimally invasive thoracic surgery, advocating systematic protocols to manage this lethal complication.
