Delayed presentation of splenic pseudoaneurysm and its management: A case report.
Article in Trauma case reports, 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
Background: Splenic pseudoaneurysm following splenic trauma is a rare but serious complication with a high risk of rupture. Percutaneous embolization has emerged as the preferred treatment modality in hemodynamically stable patients. However, the exact timing of pseudoaneurysm appearance and the management of multiple pseudoaneurysms remain unclear and lack standardized protocols. Methods: We present a case of a 35-year-old female with a Grade 4 splenic injury (according to the AAST grading system) who did not have any pseudoaneurysm on her initial contrast-enhanced CT. However, on post-injury day 5, ultrasound (USG) revealed multiple splenic pseudoaneurysms, which were further confirmed by CT angiography. The patient underwent percutaneous Gelfoam embolization to manage these various pseudoaneurysms. Results: The patient underwent successful Gelfoam embolization, effectively controlling the multiple pseudoaneurysms in the spleen with no immediate complications. Post-procedural recovery was uneventful, and the patient was discharged after appropriate monitoring. Conclusion: A well-established protocol is necessary to promptly diagnose splenic pseudoaneurysms after solid organ injury. Follow-up imaging, such as USG and CT angiography, should be performed promptly. To reduce interobserver variations, it is recommended that the same radiologist perform the follow-up ultrasound for consistency in the interpretation and detection of complications.
