The Overwhelming Postsplenectomy Sepsis: Role of Plastic Surgeon.

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
The overwhelming post-splenectomy infection (OPSI) is a feared late complication of splenectomy, with high morbidity and a mortality rate of up to 50%. Although the management of this syndrome is the duty of clinical physicians, the interest of plastic surgeons in OPSI is related to the injury that can occur in tissues with an end circulation, such as the limb extremities, nasal tip, and lips. In the management of OPSI, surgical techniques are not highlighted. The role of the plastic surgeon can be fundamental for the prevention of further extension of the necrotic tissue, improving as much as possible the vascularization around it. Moreover, a critical role in the management of OPSI is avoiding superinfection of the necrotic areas by combining different techniques and methods, such as surgical debridements, negative pressure wound therapy, and conservative treatment. Last but not least, functional and aesthetic restoration of the injured parts is of paramount importance for the final outcome. In this article, we describe the management of two unvaccinated patients with necrosis of the extremities after OPSI.
