Intra-abdominal Splenosis Mimicking Metastatic Disease During Evaluation for Bacteremic Sepsis.
Article in Cureus, 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
Splenosis is an uncommon sequela of traumatic splenic rupture or splenectomy, resulting from the heterotopic autotransplantation of viable splenic tissue. These ectopic implants most commonly occur within the peritoneal cavity and often remain clinically silent for decades. On cross-sectional imaging, however, splenosis may closely resemble metastatic malignancy, lymphoproliferative disorders, or peritoneal carcinomatosis, creating diagnostic uncertainty and frequently prompting extensive oncologic evaluation. We report the case of a 60-year-old man with a remote history of traumatic splenectomy who presented with bacteremic sepsis and was incidentally found to have multiple intra-abdominal soft-tissue nodules on computed tomography. The radiographic appearance raised concern for disseminated malignancy. Blood and urine cultures grew
