Patient selection in non-operative blunt splenic injury management: A comparative evaluation of MDCT grading systems.
Article in Bioinformation, 2026. 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
Blunt splenic trauma requires accurate MDCT grading for nonoperative management (NOM) success, yet existing morphology-based systems often fail to account for vascular injuries and hemoperitoneum volume that predict treatment failure. Therefore, it is of interest to evaluate 200 MDCT-scanned patients, comparing grading scales with NOM outcomes, including surgery rates, transfusions, hospital stay, and complications, across injury severities. Higher injury grades, contrast extravasation, large hemoperitoneum, and vascular lesions strongly correlated with NOM failure and adverse events in multivariate analysis. Grading incorporating quantitative hemoperitoneum and vascular markers outperformed traditional morphology-only systems in predictive accuracy for clinical decision-making. Thus, we document integrated MDCT parameters as essential for optimizing NOM selection, thereby reducing unnecessary surgeries and improving risk stratification in splenic trauma care.
