Splenic artery aneurysm rupture in pregnancy: challenges in diagnosis and the importance of multidisciplinary management.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
This case of acute rupture of a splenic artery aneurysm in a patient 35 weeks pregnant demonstrates the difficulties in diagnosis and importance of multidisciplinary team management for surgical emergencies in pregnancy. A women in her early 30s presented at 35 weeks pregnant with sudden onset of severe epigastric pain and shortness of breath and was found to be tachycardic with a raised lactate. Differentials included a possible vascular event or pulmonary embolism. A CT scan demonstrated free fluid and likely ruptured splenic artery aneurysm. A rapid, thorough preoperative meeting enabled us to integrate multidisciplinary care effectively. She underwent coiling of her splenic artery, which was essential to reduce further intraoperative blood loss, followed by a midline incision for caesarean section of her baby and splenectomy. She had a long stay in the intensive care unit (ITU) and complex postoperative course but was discharged after 2 months to be reunited with her baby who was in good condition.
