Spontaneous rupture of a large splenic artery aneurysm in a 59-year-old male patient with pemphigus vulgaris: a case report.
Article in Journal of medical 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
backgroundThere is currently no information on the anatomical risk factors for splenic artery aneurysm rupture, specifically the location or size of the lesion; therefore, reporting this entity to obtain data and ultimately reduce morbidity and mortality is essential. Here we report a case of a male patient with spontaneous rupture of a large splenic artery aneurysm presenting with abdominal pain. CASE PRESENTATION: A 59-year middle-eastern male, with known pemphigus vulgaris presented with a chief complaint of headache and syncope, followed by abdominal pain along with severe metabolic acidosis. A contrast-enhanced computed tomography scan of the abdomen and pelvic showed a splenic artery aneurysm of 33 × 30 mm with a 150 × 90 mm hematoma formation around the aneurysm site. The patient underwent an operation and splenectomy, with confirmation of the diagnosis of ruptured splenic artery aneurysm.
conclusionIt is essential to consider splenic aneurysm rupture as a second-line differential diagnosis, especially among patients with comorbid diseases, as this can lead to timely and appropriate lifesaving intervention.
