Laparoscopic Splenectomy in a Patient with Sclerosing Angiomatoid Nodular Transformation.

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
Sclerosing angiomatoid nodular transformation (SANT) of the spleen is a specific, tumor-forming, non-neoplastic, vascular lesion with few reported cases worldwide. Herein, we describe the case of a patient who underwent laparoscopic splenectomy for SANT. A 47-year-old woman underwent upper gastrointestinal endoscopy for suspected gastric submucosal tumor. Contrast-enhanced abdominal computed tomography revealed the presence of a gradually enhancing lesion in the splenic hilum. Although we suspected splenic fibrotic hamartoma, malignancy could not be ruled out. Therefore, the patient underwent laparoscopic splenectomy, resulting in the histopathological diagnosis of SANT. Although SANT is a benign tumor, it may be difficult to obtain definitive diagnosis using preoperative imaging alone. Because the long-term natural history of SANT is unknown, we believe that splenectomy could be an appropriate technique for the diagnosis and treatment of SANT.
