Polysplenia Syndrome Complicated by Splenic Infarction: A Report of a Rare Case.
Article in Cureus, 2023. 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
Polysplenia syndrome is a rare congenital anomaly characterized by multiple spleens and associated organ anomalies, which can present with serious complications such as splenic infarction. Diagnosis and management of the disorder can be challenging due to the presence of associated anomalies and the condition is often diagnosed incidentally. We report a case of a six-year-old girl with no significant medical history who presented to the emergency department with fever, abdominal pain, and vomiting. Physical examination and laboratory investigations showed leukocytosis, anemia, and elevated levels of C-reactive protein. A computed tomography scan revealed splenic infarction with polysplenia syndrome. The patient received intravenous antibiotics and pain management and was closely monitored for complications such as sepsis. Early diagnosis and appropriate management are essential to prevent complications, and close monitoring and follow-up are necessary for long-term management.
