Role of laparoscopic partial splenectomy for tumorous lesions of the spleen.
Article in Journal of gastrointestinal surgery : official journal of the Society for Surgery of the Alimentary Tract, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
backgroundLaparoscopic partial splenectomy (LPS) is a surgical option for splenic masses, with the goal of reducing postoperative complications while preserving splenic function.
methodsThirty-seven patients who underwent laparoscopic splenectomy for tumorous lesions of the spleen at two affiliated hospitals were enrolled. Among them, 22 patients underwent laparoscopic total splenectomy (LTS) and 15 patients underwent LPS.
resultsThe tumorous lesions of the spleen in both groups, in order of decreasing frequency, consisted of epithelial cysts, hemangiomas, lymphangiomas, abscesses, metastatic tumors, and hamartomas. All procedures were completed by laparoscopy, and the pathologic lesions in the spleen were completely removed in both groups. There were no significant differences between the groups in terms of the operative time (LTS 151.5 ± 98.5 min, LPS 168.6 ± 46.8 min, p = 0.483), intraoperative blood loss (LTS 337.3 ± 188.4 ml, LPS 422.6 ± 187.4 ml, p = 0.185), and transfusion rate (LTS 3/22 [13.6 %], LPS 3/15 [20.0 %], p = 0.606). However, there were significant differences in postoperative complications such as pleural effusion (LTS 9/22 [40.9 %], LPS 0/15 [0 %], p = 0.005), splenic vein thrombosis (LTS 10/22 [45.5 %], LPS 0/15 [0 %], p = 0.002), and postoperative hospital stay (LTS 5.4 ± 1.8 days, LPS 4.2 ± 0.8 days, p = 0.027).
conclusionsLPS is a feasible, safe surgical procedure in patients with tumorous lesions of the spleen, and it represents an effective approach to reduce postoperative hospital stay and complications.
