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

Giant infected splenic pseudocysts are rare and may be difficult to diagnose due to overlapping clinical and imaging features with other cystic splenic lesions, including hydatid cysts and abscesses. At our institution, a 59-year-old male with no reported history of splenic trauma presented with weight loss, early satiety, and left upper quadrant pain. Computed tomography demonstrated a large calcified splenic cyst measuring up to 14.6 cm with internal septations and an air-fluid level, concerning for infection and rupture. The cyst fluid measured a median of 12 Hounsfield units, without perceptible wall or septal enhancement. Ultrasound demonstrated complex internal debris and septations without internal vascularity. Serologic testing showed markedly elevated
