Underlying thrombotic conditions in patients with splenic infarction: a 10-year retrospective analysis.
Article in Thrombosis journal, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. 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
backgroundSplenic infarction is a rare but clinically important condition that is usually associated with underlying hematological, cardiovascular, infectious, or malignant diseases. Due to its nonspecific clinical presentation, diagnosis may be delayed. This study aimed to evaluate the demographic characteristics, clinical findings, etiological factors, radiological features, treatment approaches, and outcomes of patients diagnosed with non-traumatic splenic infarction.
methodsThis retrospective study included 67 adult patients diagnosed with splenic infarction by contrast-enhanced abdominal computed tomography (CT) at Dicle University Faculty of Medicine Hospital between January 2014 and December 2023. Demographic characteristics, presenting symptoms, laboratory parameters, radiological findings, etiological factors, treatment modalities, length of hospital stay, and in-hospital mortality were evaluated.
resultsThe mean age of the patients was 50.9 ± 16.3 years, and 64.2% were male. Abdominal pain was the most common presenting symptom and was present in all patients. Hematological disorders were the most common identifiable specific etiology (31.3%), while no identifiable cause was found in 23.9% of patients. Contrast-enhanced CT established the diagnosis in all patients, whereas ultrasonography detected infarction in only 29.9% of cases. JAK2 mutation analysis was positive in 4 of 16 tested patients with hematological disorders. Conservative management was sufficient in 89.6% of patients, while 10.4% required splenectomy because of splenic rupture, hemorrhagic infarction, or splenic abscess formation. In-hospital mortality occurred in four patients (6.0%).
conclusionsSplenic infarction is an uncommon clinical entity that should be considered in patients presenting with unexplained abdominal pain, particularly in the presence of hematological or systemic disorders associated with thrombotic risk. Contrast-enhanced CT remains the most reliable diagnostic modality, whereas ultrasonography has limited sensitivity. Although conservative management is effective in most patients, severe complications may necessitate surgical intervention. Early diagnosis and comprehensive etiological evaluation are essential for appropriate management and improved clinical outcomes. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER: Not applicable.
