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

backgroundAngiomyolipomas are often associated with tuberous sclerosis and are typically benign soft tissue tumors found incidentally on imaging. The main complication is retroperitoneal hemorrhagic rupture, leading to Wunderlich's syndrome. CASE PRESENTATION: This case report presents a unique case of a 48-year-old Hispanic female patient with Wunderlich's syndrome displaying atypical symptoms, including hematemesis, abdominal pain, and nausea. The workup revealed significant anemia and renal failure. The patient had no known history of tuberous sclerosis. Computed tomography imaging showed retroperitoneal hemorrhage from bilateral angiomyolipomas, and the patient was treated with arterial embolization for stabilization. No further hemorrhage occurred during the hospitalization, and the patient was eventually discharged in stable condition.

conclusionThis report presents a case of Wunderlich's syndrome caused by hemorrhage of renal angiomyolipomas, presenting as a medical emergency. Although renal angiomyolipomas are rare benign tumors, complications such as bleeding can occur. Clinicians should consider renal angiomyolipomas in patients with acute renal failure, anemia, and abdominal pain to enable early diagnosis and treatment.
