Totally laparoscopic partial splenectomy and gastropexy for a splenic cyst in a wandering spleen.

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
abstractWith only seven reported cases until 2019 as noted by Lim et al ., cases of a wandering spleen (WS) accompanied by splenic cyst (SC) are exceptionally rare. Furthermore, both entities are notoriously 'silent' until they present as an emergency with complications, often warranting total splenectomy. Management of SC in a WS eventually depends on its clinical presentation, disease type and functional reservoir of the spleen. However, it is desirable to operate electively and perform a spleen salvage with splenic reposition surgery. Our case describes the first totally laparoscopic partial splenectomy and intraperitoneal fixation of the spleen by means of gastropexy for a large non-parasitic SC in a WS. Partial splenectomy instead of just a cystectomy tackles the risk of cyst recurrence, and a gastropexy over other splenic repositioning techniques would allow the spleen to remain as an intraperitoneal organ.
