Partial Splenectomy is Superior to Total Splenectomy for Selected Patients with Hemangiomas or Cysts.
Article in World journal of surgery, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
backgroundThe superiority of partial splenectomy (PS) as a treatment for benign tumors has not well been confirmed. This study aimed to identify the short- and long-term outcomes of PS, to compare laparoscopic and laparotomic PS, and to demonstrate whether the effects of PS are superior to that of total splenectomy (TS).
methodsPatients with either a hemangioma or cyst who underwent PS or TS from 2009 to 2015 at Qilu Hospital of Shandong University were included. Clinical parameters were collected and analyzed.
resultsA total of 17 patients underwent PS were collected, including 2 men and 15 women with a mean age of 43.9 ± 11.3 years old. Patients who underwent laparoscopic PS (9 cases) had a longer operative time and shorter postoperative hospital stay than those who underwent laparotomy (8 cases). Compared with TS (22 cases), PS significantly decreased the incidence of thrombocytosis, shortened time until drainage removal, and shortened postoperative hospital stay. After an average follow-up of 34.8 months, patients who underwent TS showed a higher incidence of thrombocytosis and splenic vein thrombosis compared with patients underwent PS.
conclusionsPS is technically feasible and provides favorable short- and long-term outcomes for selected patients with either a hemangioma or cyst compared with TS. Laparoscopic PS shows lower morbidity and equal therapeutic efficacy compared with laparotomic PS and can be widely performed.
