Robotic partial splenectomy: a new standardized approach.
Article in Surgery today, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
The treatment of benign splenic diseases is trending toward a conservative approach, especially for young patients, due to the importance of preserving as much splenic parenchyma as possible. Minimally invasive partial splenectomy (PS), which has become the gold standard for managing benign splenic conditions, is generally associated with low morbidity and near-zero mortality. Herein, we describe a standardized and safe technique to perform this procedure. This new approach combines preoperative selective distal embolization of the splenic artery with indocyanine green (ICG)-guided robotic partial splenectomy using the technique of negative staining as applied in liver surgery.
