Evaluation of venous thromboembolism and malignancy development in splenectomized patients: A retrospective single-center study from a Southern Anatolian City (Isparta).
Article in Medicine, 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
resultsA significant association was found between the last pre-splenectomy platelet count and the development of thrombosis within the first postoperative month (P = .045). Overall, VTE occurred in 4.2% of patients within the first month, with portal vein thrombosis being the most common type in both early and late periods. Persistent thrombocytosis (platelets > 4,50,000/mm3) was present in 29.3% of patients at 1 to 6 months and 10.9% after 6 months. In the immune thrombocytopenic purpura subgroup, 71.2% of patients maintained a platelet count above 30,000/mm3 after 6 months. We found no significant association between pre- or post-splenectomy platelet levels and the subsequent development of malignancy.
