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

Complex cystic splenic lesions can pose considerable diagnostic difficulty because infectious, hemorrhagic, and neoplastic processes frequently show overlapping imaging features, and splenic artery pseudoaneurysm is a rare but potentially fatal vascular complication requiring prompt recognition. We report the case of an 85-year-old male who presented with a persistent systemic inflammatory syndrome; contrast-enhanced multiphasic CT and CT angiography with 3D reconstruction demonstrated a large complex cystic splenic lesion harboring a splenic artery pseudoaneurysm, and, given the high risk of rupture, the patient underwent splenectomy with vascular control, with surgical and histopathological findings confirming an infected splenic cystic lesion complicated by splenic artery pseudoaneurysm without evidence of malignancy and microbiological culture of the infected collection yielding
