Single-incision laparoscopic splenectomy for idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura: report of a case.
Article in Surgery today, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
We herein report a case of single-incision laparoscopic access (SILA) splenectomy for idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP). A 24-year-old female patient with a diagnosis of ITP received corticosteroid therapy. However, as the side effects became serious, a splenectomy option was chosen. The SILA splenectomy using a transumbilical approach is cosmetically more attractive than a conventional laparoscopic approach, but it has an increased risk of major bleeding due to technical considerations. Therefore, we prioritized the patient's safety during the SILA splenectomy by choosing a left lower abdominal approach. The operating time was 123 min and blood loss was 1 ml. This was comparable to a conventional laparoscopic splenectomy. The present case appears to be the first SILA splenectomy reported in Japan. In our experience, a SILA splenectomy is feasible and safe, with favorable perioperative and shortterm patient outcomes. Further studies are necessary before the universal adoption of this new technique.
