Emergency radiological evaluation of wandering spleen volvulus and infarction: A case report and review of literature.
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 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
Wandering spleen (WS) is exceedingly rare and is attributed to the absence or maldevelopment of the spleen's anchoring ligaments. The diagnosis of WS in the emergency department poses a particular clinical challenge as the clinical presentation is highly variable from acute abdomen requiring immediate surgery to chronic indolent pain extending over years. Herein, we report the case of a 34-year-old nulliparous lady, who presented to the emergency department with left iliac fossa pain associated with vomiting, successfully diagnosed preoperatively using computerized tomography. A splenectomy was performed, and the patient achieved full recovery. Timely use of imaging aids emergency physicians in the early detection of wandering spleen. Early diagnosis allows spleen-preserving strategies and therefore prevents the life-threatening complications of postsplenectomy sepsis.
