Case Report: Partial Splenic Artery Embolization for the Treatment of Painful Splenomegaly Secondary to Noncirrhotic Portal Hypertension.
Article in Case reports in hepatology, 2025. 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
Noncirrhotic portal hypertension (NCPH) is a rare cause of portal hypertension with varied etiologies. We present two cases of painful splenomegaly secondary to NCPH successfully treated with partial splenic artery embolization (PSE). Despite limited literature on PSE's efficacy for NCPH-related painful splenomegaly, our cases demonstrate significant pain relief and reduction in opiate dependence postprocedure. Imaging revealed substantial decreases in spleen size without major complications. PSE emerges as a promising therapeutic option for NCPH-related painful splenomegaly, offering improved quality of life and reduced reliance on analgesics.
