A Comprehensive Review of Splenic Cysts: Case Reports and Clinical Insight.
Review in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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 cysts, although rare, present a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge due to their varied etiologies and clinical manifestations. This review synthesizes the current understanding of splenic cysts through an analysis of thirteen case reports spanning from 1988 to 2023. Etiologies include epithelial, parasitic, and sarcomatous origins. Diagnostic modalities, including imaging and histopathology, facilitate accurate classification and inform subsequent management decisions. Various surgical techniques, including laparoscopic and spleen-preserving approaches, have been employed with favorable outcomes. This review provides insights into the pathogenesis, classification, diagnostic workup, and treatment modalities of splenic cysts based on collective experiences reported in the literature.
