Correlation of Splenic Parameters With Age in North Indian Population.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundEstimation of age is of utmost importance in identifying the deceased. Research considering splenic morphometric parameters to determine the deceased's age is very rare in Haryana. The present study is done to find the correlation between the spleen's morphometric parameters and the deceased's age. The objective of the present study is to determine the changes in morphometry of the spleen with the age of the deceased.
methodsThe cross-sectional study was done in spleen specimens (56 males and 44 females) obtained from deceased adults aged 16-70 years belonging to North India from the Department of Forensic Medicine during autopsy from September 2021-June 2022. The data was analyzed using SPSS 20.0. Pearson's correlation test evaluated the association between splenic parameters and age. The correlation formula was derived to assess the significance of correlation.
resultsCorrelation with age was negative and significant with splenic weight and splenic dimensions in both males and females. Mean splenic weight, length, breadth, and thickness were 113.83± 7.86 g, 10.2±1.04 cm, 6.53 ± 0.4 cm, 1.46 ± 0.074 cm respectively. Mean spleen weight, length, width, and thickness were 137 ±10.98g, 11.06 ± 1.28 cm, 6.9 ± 0.4cm, 1.66 ± 0.018 cm in males. Mean spleen weight, length, width, and thickness were 90.66 ± 4.74g, 9.34 ±0.8cm, 6.16 ±0.4cm, and 1.26 ±0.13cm in females. Conclusions: Spleen weight and dimensions were higher in males than in females, and all the morphometric parameters increased up to the age of 45 and later decreased. The correlation of morphometric parameters of the spleen was negative and significant with age.
