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

Background: Spleen, being the filter of blood, is affected in virtually all cases of sickle cell anemia (SCA). Therefore, imaging features of the spleen can provide valuable inputs regarding the course and complications of SCA. To evaluate the diagnostic utility of ultrasonography and computed tomography (CT) in detecting splenic complications in patients with SCA. Methods: Seven patients with SCA underwent abdominal ultrasound and contrast-enhanced CT of the abdomen. The imaging features of their spleen are elucidated through this case series. Results: The imaging spectrum varied from splenomegaly, extramedullary hematopoiesis, infarcts, fibrosis, calcifications, splenic sequestration, secondary hemochromatosis, and splenic abscess to autosplenectomy. Conclusions: Imaging was able to diagnose spleen-related complications in SCA and added a valuable dimension to patient management.
