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

Laparoscopic splenectomy is nowadays widely performed for the treatment of benign and malignant diseases of the spleen. However, removing the spleen increases the risk of postoperative infections, therefore patients need long-life antibiotics. Advancement in surgical technique and instrumentation have led to the development of partial splenectomy, which is mainly indicated to treat localized lesions of the spleen. The main advantage is the preservation of the immune function, so that long-life prescription of antibiotics is no longer needed. The introduction of the laparoscopic approach to laparoscopic splenectomy seems to add further benefits, namely a faster recovery. We report two cases of benign splenic cysts, which were treated by laparoscopic partial splenectomy. Technical aspects on the parenchymal transection and data from the most recent literature are discussed as well.
