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: Traumatic splenic rupture is a life-threatening acute abdominal condition. While traditional total splenectomy effectively controls bleeding, it results in the loss of splenic function, increasing the risk of infectious complications and long-term health issues. Laparoscopic partial splenectomy, as a minimally invasive spleen-preserving approach, offers a new treatment option for such patients. However, its technical complexity limits its clinical adoption, requiring further experience accumulation and technical optimization. Methods: This study retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 13 patients with traumatic splenic rupture treated between 2018 and 2021 to evaluate the safety, efficacy, and applicability of laparoscopic partial splenectomy. All patients were diagnosed via contrast-enhanced abdominal CT imaging. During surgery, partial splenectomy was performed using splenic artery occlusion combined with anatomical dissection. Perioperative data and postoperative changes in blood parameters were recorded. Results: The median operative time was 120 min, with a median intraoperative blood loss of 1,500 mL. The residual spleen in all 13 patients maintained good blood supply. Blood tests showed a gradual resolution of postoperative inflammatory responses, with platelet levels returning to normal. Imaging follow-up confirmed improved blood supply to the residual spleen. The median postoperative hospital stay was 14 days, and all patients survived and preserved splenic tissue. One patient developed a minor splenic infarction that resolved, and no patient experienced re-bleeding, overwhelming infection, or other major complications. Conclusions: Laparoscopic partial splenectomy demonstrates favorable safety and efficacy in patients with traumatic splenic rupture. By optimizing intraoperative vascular control and careful management of the resection site, this procedure not only preserves partial splenic function but also reduces postoperative complications. It provides a reliable minimally invasive surgical option for the treatment of traumatic splenic rupture.
