Splenic Injury in Sleeve Gastrectomy: Mechanisms, Risk Factors, and Management Strategies.
Review in Middle East journal of digestive diseases, 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
Splenic injury represents a rare but significant complication during laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy that can lead to considerable morbidity if not promptly diagnosed and managed. This comprehensive review aims to elucidate the mechanisms underlying splenic injuries, assess patient- and procedure-specific risk factors, and evaluate the clinical presentation and management strategies for these events. A literature search was performed across major databases to identify relevant articles published over the past decades. Evidence suggests that factors such as technical nuances during dissection, the handling of short gastric vessels, and patient-specific anatomical variations contribute to the risk of splenic injury. Management ranges from conservative monitoring to surgical interventions, such as splenectomy or embolization, depending on the severity of the injury. Furthermore, this review discusses preventive measures and techniques to minimize these risks, offering important insights for bariatric surgeons to enhance patient outcomes.
