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

We present the case of a male in his 50s who developed sudden abdominal pain two days after testing positive for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and was brought to the emergency department in shock. An emergency laparotomy revealed intraperitoneal hemorrhage due to spontaneous rupture of the right gastroepiploic artery. Histopathological examination revealed necrotizing vasculitis, while systemic causes were excluded. The case was diagnosed as abdominal single-organ vasculitis (SOV) likely triggered by COVID-19. This rare presentation highlights the importance of considering SOV in COVID-19 patients presenting with acute abdomen, as early recognition and intervention are critical to avoid life-threatening hemorrhage.
