Wandering spleen with torsion in pelvic: A case report and literature review.
Article in Radiology case reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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, caused by elongation or maldevelopment of the splenic ligaments, is a rare developmental disorder with a prevalence of 0.2 %. It occurs primarily in children under one year or adult women of reproductive age. Clinical manifestations are highly variable, ranging from asymptomatic cases to acute abdominal symptoms such as persistent abdominal pain and vomiting, often due to splenic torsion. Because clinical symptoms are nonspecific, diagnostic imaging is crucial, with computed tomography key to confirming the diagnosis. Conventional treatment involves spleen fixation unless there is splenic infarction, in which case splenectomy should be considered. We report the case of a 13-year-old female patient who was admitted to the hospital with acute abdominal pain, accompanied by vomiting and fever, without signs of shock. Ultrasound and computed tomography revealed splenic torsion, which was confirmed during laparoscopic surgery, and the patient subsequently underwent splenectomy. One week after surgery, the patient was discharged from the hospital in stable condition.
