Colosplenic Fistula Following Splenic Embolization in a Sickle Cell Disease Patient.
Article in Cureus, 2024. 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
This case report details a rare instance of a colosplenic fistula following splenic embolization in a patient with sickle cell disease. The patient, a 29-year-old female, presented with symptoms of left hypochondrial pain and fever. Imaging revealed a splenic abscess characterized by an air-fluid level. Intraoperative observations disclosed that the spleen was entirely replaced by an abscess cavity, with the presence of colosplenic fistulae. A splenectomy and colonic resection were performed. This report highlights a rare complication that occurred a long time after splenic embolization, underscoring the need for a high level of suspicion to prevent serious complications.
