Delayed splenic abscess after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
Splenic abscesses complicating sleeve gastrectomies are extremely rare. We report the fourth recorded case of a splenic abscess; in our case it occurred 10 weeks after sleeve gastrectomy in a 44-year-old man. The clinical presentation was vague but included the triad of fever, left upper quadrant tenderness and leucocytosis. The presence of this triad after sleeve gastrectomy should prompt investigation with contrast CT scans to exclude a splenic abscess.
