Pregnancy With Massive Splenomegaly and Pancytopenia: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Massive splenomegaly complicating pregnancy is a rare clinical entity that poses special difficulties, such as anemia, thrombocytopenia, ascites, and jaundice. This case report of a pregnant woman with large splenomegaly and pancytopenia highlights the value of prompt diagnosis and effective treatment. Splenomegaly can have a number of causes, including viral infections, hematological problems, portal hypertension, and metabolic abnormalities. A 29-year-old gravida 3 woman at 37 weeks of gestation who had massive splenomegaly was admitted and underwent a cesarean section to avoid complications of splenomegaly. The case report discusses the difficulties in obstetric management caused by enormous splenomegaly during pregnancy, including the choice of delivery method. Significant complications include splenic rupture and bleeding, particularly when pancytopenia is present. The need for several transfusions, the potential side effects of transfusion therapy, and factors related to the origin of splenomegaly when assessing maternal-fetal outcomes are discussed in this case report. The study concludes that in cases with pancytopenia splenomegaly during pregnancy, vigilant monitoring, prompt intervention, and a multidisciplinary approach are crucial to achieve positive outcomes for both the mother and the fetus.
