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

Splenic polyangiomatosis is an exceptionally rare benign vascular proliferation characterized by multiple vascular channels that may replace large portions of the splenic parenchyma. Most reported cases are discovered incidentally, as the condition is often asymptomatic and identified during imaging performed for unrelated reasons. We report the case of a 46-year-old asymptomatic woman in whom splenomegaly was detected during a routine clinical evaluation. Cross-sectional imaging with CT and MRI revealed marked splenomegaly with innumerable solid and cystic nodular lesions replacing more than 80% of the splenic parenchyma, with stable radiologic features over several years. A comprehensive diagnostic approach integrating clinical findings, laboratory evaluation, and multimodality imaging supported the diagnosis of benign splenic polyangiomatosis. This case underscores the importance of clinicoradiologic correlation in distinguishing this rare benign entity from other vascular, infectious, inflammatory, infiltrative, and malignant causes of multinodular splenic disease, and highlights the relevance of long-term imaging stability in guiding conservative management.
