Indications and opportunities for transsplenic access to treat portal venous and portosystemic pathology: A report of 2 cases and review of the literature.
Article in Radiology case reports, 2026. 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
Transsplenic access has emerged as a valuable technique for portal venous interventions when conventional transjugular or transhepatic approaches are challenging due to prohibitive anatomy. We briefly summarize the literature on how transsplenic access came to be and present 2 unique cases that highlight the importance of transsplenic access in facilitating transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt creation in complex portal venous disease. The first case describes a 68-year-old male cirrhotic patient with extensive acute-on-chronic portal vein thromboses in whom transsplenic access enabled portal vein thrombectomy and successful portosystemic shunt placement. The second case involves a 60-year-old female patient with chronic portal vein thrombosis and cavernous transformation, where a combined transsplenic-transhepatic "body floss" technique allowed recanalization and subsequent portosystemic shunt creation.
