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
backgroundThe recommendations for the treatment of an appendiceal mass are still controversial. The need for staged appendectomy is still under discussion. PATIENTS AND
methodsIn a retrospective study all patients with the diagnosis appendiceal mass (ICD 10 K35.32) treated in the surgical clinic of the University Clinic in Greifswald between June 1999 and June 2011 were analyzed.
resultsA total of 38 patients were included in the study whereby 17 patients (9 male and 8 female) were treated with drainage and antibiotics (group A) and 21 (14 male and 7 female) were treated by immediate surgery (group B). Nonsurgical therapy with drainage of the abscess was found to be efficient. Immediate surgical treatment was also effective and should be performed when signs of peritonitis exist. Interval appendectomy is not indicated.
