Splenic artery pseudoaneurysm rupture post-laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy.
Article in Journal of surgical case reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
A splenic artery pseudoaneurysm (SAP) is a rare vascular entity that is becoming increasingly recognized as a potential complication of bariatric surgery. This is a case of a 36-year-old woman brought by ambulance to a regional emergency department with abdominal pain, collapse, and gross haemodynamic instability 2 years post-laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. She received aggressive resuscitation in the emergency department but could not be stabilized and so underwent an emergency laparotomy. Intra-operatively, she was found to have a ruptured SAP with active bleeding, which was managed with a splenectomy. A high index of suspicion is required in any patient presenting with abdominal pain and circulatory collapse in the context of previous bariatric surgery. In rural or regional settings without immediate access to interventional radiology services, the most appropriate management option will almost invariably be an emergency laparotomy and splenectomy due to the risk of deterioration during patient transfer.
