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
Splenic-artery aneurysms (SAAs) are rare but potentially life-threatening vascular lesions with a high risk of rupture, especially when symptomatic or thrombosed. Timely diagnosis and appropriate intervention are essential to prevent fatal haemorrhagic events. This case report details the management of a 60-year-old male with a giant SSA, emphasizing the necessity of urgent surgical intervention and the advantages of an open approach for rapid vascular and haemorrhage control. The patient presented with progressive upper abdominal discomfort. Computer tomography revealed a 10 × 10 cm thrombosed SAA compressing the pancreatic tail. Due to high rupture risk, open distal pancreatosplenectomy was performed. Postoperatively, the patient remained haemodynamically stable without complications or need for re-intervention. This case demonstrates the critical importance of open surgery in managing giant SAAs, offering direct vascular access and effective bleeding control. Early diagnosis and prompt surgical intervention are paramount in managing symptomatic SSA.
