Post-splenectomy accessory spleen hyperfunction in children with hereditary spherocytosis: a rare case report and literature review.
Article in Frontiers in pediatrics, 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
Objective: To enhance the understanding of splenectomy in children with hereditary spherocytosis, specifically focusing on the preservation of accessory spleens or partial splenectomy. Methods: A retrospective review of clinical data and surgical methods of a child with hereditary spherocytosis who underwent surgery for accessory spleen hyperfunction 7 years after splenectomy at the General Surgery Department of Anhui Provincial Children's Hospital, along with a literature review. Results: The child successfully underwent single-port plus one laparoscopic accessory spleenectomy. The surgery lasted 195 min, with an estimated blood loss of 600 ml. The postoperative hospital stay was 8 days, and at 6 months of follow-up, there were no complications such as bleeding, wound infection, thrombosis, or adhesive intestinal obstruction. Conclusion: For children with hereditary spherocytosis, the decision to preserve the spleen or accessory spleens during surgical treatment offers important reference value.
