Splenic Pedicle Volvulus in a Wandering Spleen: A Rare Pediatric Emergency.

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 clinical condition caused by laxity or absence of splenic ligaments, which allows for abnormal splenic mobility and potential torsion. Splenic torsion, the most serious complication, accounts for many symptomatic cases. We describe the case of a 13-year-old girl who had vomiting, fever, and severe abdominal pain. On examination, she was febrile and tachycardic, while other parameters were within normal limits. Abdominal examination revealed tenderness in the left upper quadrant. Imaging showed a wandering spleen and torsion with impaired blood flow and evidence of infarction. An emergency splenectomy was performed due to the total loss of splenic perfusion. This case underscores the importance of early imaging and prompt surgical intervention to prevent irreversible ischemic injury and associated morbidity.
