Wandering spleen combined with pedicle torsion and splenic infarction: a rare case report and literature review.
Article in Frontiers in pediatrics, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Wandering spleen (WS) concurrent with splenic pedicle torsion and infarction has been described rarely. We reported our experience in diagnosing and treating such a condition in a 16-year-old girl with acute abdominal pain. A plain CT scan showed the wandering of the spleen from the left upper quadrant. Contrast-enhanced CT indicated dilatation and distortion in the splenic vein, a counterclockwise "whirl sign" in the splenic pedicle, pancreatic tail torsion, and splenic infarction. The patient was diagnosed with WS combined with splenic pedicle torsion and splenic infarction and underwent splenectomy for treatment. She showed a satisfactory outcome during the follow-up. To enhance our understanding of it, we performed a comprehensive literature research to summarize the clinical manifestations, treatment options, and outcomes among adolescent patients.
