1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Right iliac fossa (RIF) pain is the most common presenting complaint in the general surgical ward. Though there are several causes for the RIF pain, acute appendicitis is the first and common diagnosis. Here we present one of the rare differential diagnoses of RIF pain in a young female patient with one month history of intermittent right lower abdominal pain. Patient's symptoms and clinical findings indicated acute appendicitis, though ultrasonography didn't show any significant abnormality. Through diagnostic laparoscopy we found that there was torsion of anterior abdominal wall parietal peritoneal pedunculated lipoma located in RIF region. The clinical presentation, examination, investigation, laparoscopic findings and further management is presented in this case report.
