Review in World journal of emergency surgery : WJES, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to 3 registered trials, which are not on this map. Cited by 89 papers, 16 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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.
A Prospective Non-randomized Controlled, Multicenter, Multidisciplinary Trial Comparing Appendectomy and Conservative Treatment for Patients With Uncomplicated Acute Appendicitis (the ACTUAA STUDY).
Diagnostic Accuracy and Role of Bedside Ultrasound in Patients With Suspected Acute Diverticulitis
Randomized Multicentric Controlled Clinical Trial of Parallel Groups to Evaluate the Non-therapeutic Inferiority of a Free Diet With a Progressive Diet, in the Treatment of Non-complicated Acute Diverticulitis
