Post-traumatic intrathoracic splenosis and role of Tc-99m Sulfur colloid scintigraphy in confirmation.
Article in Radiology case reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Splenosis is acquired ectopic splenic tissue, usually a sequela of trauma. Its imaging appearance is can be deceiving, and at unusual locations may be mistaken for an alternate cause mass lesion. We present one such unusual case of splenosis in a 53 year-old man with history of heart failure involving the thoracic cavity identified as splenosis on nuclear medicine imaging and suspicion was raised given the remote history splenectomy after splenic rupture during trauma. We will discuss the imaging appearances of splenosis on CT, MRI and nuclear medicine studies, with emphasis on using nuclear medicine as a modality of choice to avoid biopsy. We will also go on to include a brief review of literature on this topic in this article. The key facts are role of detailed clinical history and requirement of high index of suspicion to avoid unnecessary intervention in the case of splenosis.
