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

Post-cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) liver trauma is a rare complication that can be difficult to identify when the lesion is subcapsular and small in volume. We describe the case of a 52-year-old man, a candidate for organ donation after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, in whom abdominal computed tomography revealed a non-conclusive hypodense hepatic area. Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) revealed a subcapsular avascular zone with a thin peripheral hypervascular rim, consistent with post-cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) liver contusion/hematoma. CEUS is crucial for lesion characterization in the context of decision-making for organ donation, highlighting its role as a problem-solving technique in the evaluation of abdominal trauma in hemodynamically stable patients.
