1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Robotic splenectomy (RS) is an advanced alternative to conventional laparoscopy, offering advantages such as 3D vision and superior articulation, which are crucial in complex cases like splenomegaly. We present the case of a 22-year-old woman with a giant splenic cyst measuring ~13 cm. Robotic-assisted splenectomy was performed using the multi-port Da Vinci Xi system. The robotic approach facilitated the precise dissection of the splenic hilum and the short gastric vessels, allowing the spleen to be extracted intact with minimal bleeding in 2 h. Robotic splenectomy proved to be a safe and effective technique, associated with an efficient operative time and rapid postoperative recovery. This case supports the use of robotic splenectomy in specialized centers for selected, complex cases, demonstrating its technical advantage for large splenic pathology.
