Successful management of splenic perforation during percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy tube placement in a cat via laparoscopic partial splenectomy.
Article in JFMS open reports. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Case summary: A 12-year-old spayed female domestic shorthair cat with a weight of 4.5 kg and a body condition score of 3/9 presented with anorexia and vomiting. Feline hepatic lipidosis was diagnosed based on blood tests and ultrasound examination. Naso-oesophageal tube feeding was initiated, but hypersalivation persisted despite supportive care. As a result of poor feeding tolerance, a percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) tube was placed for long-term enteral nutrition, with endoscopic confirmation of gastric placement. Two hours after the procedure, blood staining on the PEG tube bandage suggested bleeding at the insertion site. Abdominal ultrasonography and CT revealed splenic perforation. A laparoscopic partial splenectomy was performed successfully and the cat recovered without complications. Follow-up laboratory tests demonstrated a gradual improvement in haematological parameters, including haematocrit and total bilirubin. The cat remained clinically stable without further complications. Relevance and novel information: This report details the first documented case of splenic perforation during PEG tube placement in a cat, successfully managed through laparoscopic partial splenectomy. Minimally invasive laparoscopy has demonstrated efficacy in addressing rare complications, including splenic perforation associated with PEG tube placement in cats.
