1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Although the clinical benefit of laparoscopic splenectomy and devascularization (LSD) has been elaborated in many studies, its application in massive splenomegaly remains controversial. We conducted a retrospective research to assess the curative efficacy of LSD for massive splenomegaly due to portal hypertension. Forty-seven patients with massive splenomegaly due to portal hypertension were enrolled in this study, and divided into two groups. Twenty-one patients underwent open splenectomy and devascularization (OSD) from June 2010 to October 2012 (OSD group). From March 2013 to February 2015, LSD was performed on 26 patients (LSD group). Perioperative variables were analyzed. Compared to OSD, LSD was associated with less blood loss (241.9±110.0 mL vs. 319.0±139.5 mL, P<0.05), more rapid resumption of oral diet (2.46±0.95 days vs. 3.76±1.09 days, P<0.05), and shorter postoperative hospital stay (5.35±1.65 days vs. 7.24±1.55 days, P<0.05). It was concluded that for patients with massive splenomegaly due to portal hypertension, LSD is feasible and as safe as OSD.
