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

Atraumatic splenic rupture is an uncommon, life-threatening abdominal emergency involving the rupture of the spleen in the absence of obvious trauma. This case report provides a summary of a 48-year-old male who presented to the Emergency Department of the University of Ghana Medical Centre with syncope and hemodynamic instability one week after receiving a yellow fever vaccine. A diagnosis of an atraumatic splenic rupture was eventually confirmed by imaging, and a splenectomy was done. This report aims to provide valuable insights into the recognition and management of atraumatic splenic rupture, a potential adverse event associated with the yellow-fever vaccine. It also highlights the importance of prompt diagnosis and timely intervention in such life-threatening cases.
