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
purposeTo evaluate whether laparoscopic appendectomy can be the gold standard for acute appendicitis regarding the applicability and cost effectivity. MATERIALS AND
methodsThe study included patients who were operated by laparoscopically for acute appendicitis between January 2008 and September 2012. Patients' sex, ages, hospitalization time, the type for closure of the appendiceal stump, complication rate, surgery time and other parameters were recorded.
results1,788 patients with acute appendicitis on laparoscopic evaluation constituted the study population. Average age of the patient group was 30.1 ± 2.3 years old. Average hospitalization time was 1.2 ± 1.1 days. Metal clips were used in 1,100 (61.5%) patients, intracorporeal knotting was performed in the remaining. Total complication rate was 3.8%.
conclusionBy the using of metal clips and increased experience; laparoscopy may be gold standard for acute appendicitis.
