The Delayed Presentation of Abdominal Apoplexy Following Initial Negative Imaging: A Diagnostic Challenge.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Abdominal apoplexy, or idiopathic spontaneous intraperitoneal hemorrhage (ISIH), is a rare and life-threatening condition caused by the rupture of a mesenteric vessel, leading to massive abdominal bleeding and potential hemodynamic shock. This report presents the case of a 62-year-old patient with hypertension and anticoagulant use who arrived at the emergency department with abdominal and unusual chest pain. Initial imaging did not show signs of bleeding, delaying diagnosis until significant hemodynamic deterioration occurred, necessitating a damage control exploratory laparotomy to evacuate hemoperitoneum and ligate the middle colic artery. The double rupture phenomenon can complicate diagnosis, highlighting the importance of vigilance in patients with risk factors. CT angiography (CTA) is the preferred diagnostic method, while angioembolization is suitable for hemodynamically stable patients. Immediate resuscitation and surgical intervention are critical in unstable patients.
