A sclerosing angiomatoid nodular transformation (SANT) mimicking a metachronous splenic metastasis from endometrioid cancer and ovarian cancer.

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
introductionSclerosing angiomatoid nodular transformation (SANT) of the spleen has been considered a differential diagnosis of splenic lesions since it was originally reported. However, preoperative diagnosis of SANT is often difficult and histopathological examination by surgical resection is required. CASE PRESENTATION: Because of a new splenic lesion, a 48-year-old woman was suspected of having metachronous solitary splenic metastasis during her postoperative follow-up for endometrioid and ovarian cancer that occurred 3 years previously. Because there was no metastasis to other sites, laparoscopic splenectomy was successfully performed for diagnosis and treatment. Histopathological examination revealed that the splenic lesion consisted of three distinct splenic vessels, thereby indicating SANT without any cancer cells or lymphoproliferative disorders.
conclusionSplenectomy should be considered for the diagnosis and treatment of incidentally detected splenic lesions during follow-up for malignancy.
