Acute torsion of a wandering spleen in a post-partum female: A case report.
Article in International journal of surgery case reports, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
introductionWandering spleen is a rare condition characterized by ectopic position of the spleen due to the absence or laxity of peritoneal ligaments that hold the organ within the left upper quadrant. Lower abdomen and pelvis are the most common locations of the wandering spleen. The disorder usually remains asymptomatic. PRESENTATION OF CASE: We present a case of acute abdomen due to torsion of a wandering spleen in a primiparus, healthy female shortly after delivery. Diagnosis was based on ultrasonography and computed tomography and was confirmed later on surgery. Total splenectomy was performed successfully. DISCUSSION: The rarity of the condition and the nonspecific clinical symptoms and signs make prompt diagnosis challenging.
conclusionPrompt recognition and intervention are necessary in order to minimize the risk of complications. For this reason physicians have to include the condition in the differential diagnosis of acute abdominal pain especially when they encounter females in a pregnancy or post-natal period.
