Prospective randomized comparison of clinical results between hand-assisted laparoscopic and open splenectomies.
Trial report in Surgical endoscopy, 2010. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 papers, 3 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
backgroundAlthough some studies have compared laparoscopic and hand-assisted laparoscopic splenectomy (HALS) in splenomegaly cases, no study has analyzed the differences between HALS and open splenectomy (OS). This study aimed to compare the HALS and OS techniques in splenomegaly cases.
methodsThis prospective study included 27 patients undergoing splenectomy for splenic disorders at the Department of General Surgery, Istanbul Medical Faculty between February and October 2007. Open splenectomy was performed for 14 patients and HALS for the remaining 13 patients.
resultsThe end points compared included incision length, operative time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative drain output and duration, postoperative pain scores, length of postoperative hospitalization, and perioperative complications. The authors found benefits of HALS over OS for incision length, postoperative pain score, postoperative drain output and duration, and hospital stay. The main advantages of the HALS technique over OS were less postoperative pain (p = 0.0002), shorter hospital stay (p = 0.004), and shorter abdominal incision (p = 0.012).
conclusionsFor splenomegaly, HALS significantly facilitates the surgical procedure and reduces the hospital stay while maintaining the advantages of OS such as tactile sense as well as easy and atraumatic manipulation of enlarged spleens.
