Spontaneous Rupture of Splenic Artery Aneurysm.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Splenic artery aneurysms are rare and usually asymptomatic, with a high risk of mortality once they get ruptured. A case report of a spontaneous rupture of a splenic artery aneurysm in a 65-year-old female is reported. The patient presented in the emergency department with abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting, followed by syncope. A contrast-enhanced CT scan was performed and showed a splenic artery aneurysm measuring 40 × 35 mm surrounded by a hematoma. The patient was submitted to emergency laparotomy with ligation of the splenic artery, aneurysm resection, and splenectomy. There were no surgical complications, and the patient was discharged home on the fifth postoperative day. A rupture of a splenic aneurysm is a rare condition with a high mortality rate and should be considered a differential diagnosis in a patient with abdominal pain and hemodynamic instability.
