Imaging findings of splenic volvulus in a wandering spleen: A radiology case report.
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
Wandering spleen is a rare condition caused by lax or absent splenic ligaments, which allows abnormal splenic mobility and predisposes the organ to torsion and infarction. Clinical presentation is often nonspecific, making imaging crucial for diagnosis. We report a 27-year-old woman who presented with a 5-day history of acute left upper quadrant abdominal pain radiating to the left shoulder, accompanied by nausea and constipation. Laboratory investigations revealed leukocytosis with neutrophil predominance, lymphopenia, and markedly elevated C-reactive protein and lactate dehydrogenase. Contrast-enhanced CT revealed an ectopic spleen with minimal enhancement and a whirl-sign of the twisted vascular pedicle. Laparotomy confirmed torsion with infarction, and splenectomy was performed. This case highlights the diagnostic challenge of wandering spleen and the critical role of contrast-enhanced CT in identifying torsion. Prompt recognition and surgical intervention are essential to prevent infarction and life-threatening complications.
