1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundRobotic-assisted partial splenectomy (RAPS) is a superior approach for treating splenic cysts and splenic hemangiomas, as it preserves the immune function of the spleen and reduces the risk of overwhelming post splenectomy infection. Currently, there are no standardized guidelines for performing a partial splenectomy. CASE SUMMARY: Four patients with splenic cysts or splenic hemangiomas were treated by RAPS. Critical aspects with RAPS include carefully dissecting the splenic pedicle, accurately identifying and ligating the supplying vessels of the targeted segment, and ensuring precise hemostasis during splenic parenchymal transection. Four successful RAPS cases are presented, where the tumors were removed by pretreating the splenic artery, dissecting and ligating the corresponding segmental vessels of the splenic pedicle, transecting the ischemic segment of the spleen, and using electrocautery for optimal hemostasis. Four patients underwent successful surgeries with minimal bleeding during the procedure, and there were no signs of bleeding or recurrence postoperatively.

conclusionFour cases confirm the feasibility and superiority of RAPS for the treatment of benign splenic tumors.
