Diffuse Peritonitis Caused by Splenic Abscess After Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy: A Case Report.

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
A splenic abscess (SA) following sleeve gastrectomy (SG) is a rare manifestation of a gastric leak (GL). The clinical findings include fever, abdominal pain, leukocytosis, and an elevated C-reactive protein. A computed tomography scan is diagnostic and can show signs of GL, or diffuse peritonitis. Treatment can either be non-operative (including large-spectrum antibiotics and percutaneous drainage) or surgical (including splenectomy). We present the case of a 41-year-old female patient with SA, with septic shock and diffuse peritonitis, successfully treated with a splenectomy three months post-SG.
