Wandering spleen presenting as a pelvic mass: A rare 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 is a rare condition caused by the absence or laxity of the ligaments that normally hold the spleen in place, resulting in its abnormal mobility within the abdominal or pelvic cavity. We report the case of a 15-year-old girl who presented with acute abdominal pain and nonspecific clinical findings. Abdominal CT revealed an enlarged ectopic spleen in the pelvic region with a long, tortuous vascular pedicle, but no signs of torsion or infarction. This case highlights the variable clinical presentation of wandering spleen, which can range from incidental discovery to acute abdomen, with imaging particularly CT being crucial for diagnosis. In uncomplicated cases, splenopexy is preferred to preserve splenic function, whereas splenectomy is reserved for infarcted or nonviable spleens. The case underscores the importance of considering wandering spleen in adolescents with unexplained abdominal pain and demonstrates how early diagnosis and conservative surgical management can prevent serious complications.
