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

Splenic cysts are a rare pathology, which can be classified as true (25%) or pseudocysts (75%). Total splenectomy has been the treatment of choice, particularly in recent times with the advent of the laparoscopic approach. However, as the spleen is an organ with multiple immunological functions, the laparoscopic partial splenectomy is an alternative, which is technically difficult but effective. We present a case of a 26-year-old woman with incidental evidence of a splenic cyst in an abdominal ultrasound scan. We performed a laparoscopic partial splenectomy to preserve the function of the spleen because of the patient's youth. Laparoscopic partial splenectomy allows the effective removal of lesions and preservation of splenic function. Although more research is needed to clarify the most effective approach, this case is further evidence that this surgical approach may be beneficial for selected patients.
