Spontaneous splenic rupture: a case report and literature review.
Article in Frontiers in surgery, 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
Spontaneous splenic rupture in children is a rare condition with limited documented cases in the medical literature. It can occur in both enlarged and normal-sized spleens. Clinical manifestations may include abdominal pain, splenomegaly, diminished or absent bowel sounds, Kehr's sign, Ballance's sign, and abdominal guarding. Imaging studies (computed tomography and ultrasound) serve as crucial diagnostic tools for splenic rupture. Splenectomy is no longer considered standard treatment due to the associated risk of overwhelming post-splenectomy infection (OPSI). Current therapeutic approaches prioritize hemostasis and spleen preservation. Prognosis depends on timely diagnosis and adequate management. Therefore, clinicians must maintain high vigilance for patients presenting with unexplained acute abdominal pain accompanied by hemodynamic instability. This article reports a pediatric case of spontaneous splenic rupture and reviews the literature to summarize the pathophysiology, clinical features, and management strategies for this condition.
