[Detection of complete common mesentery on CT scan for perforation in acute appendicitis].
Article in The Pan African medical journal, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Complete common mesentery is a rare abnormality in midgut rotation. Its detection is exceptional during adulthood because, during this period, is very often asymptomatic and therefore not diagnosed. Complete common mesentery may be discovered incidentally in patients with ectopic appendicular syndrome, as in our case study. We here report the case of a 42-year old patient presenting with acute clinico-biological pelvic inflammatory disorder. CT scan allowed the diagnosis of complete common mesentery associated with acute appendicitis. Laparotomy confirmed the diagnosis of perforated acute appendicitis associated with intestinal malrotation. Appendectomy outcomes were favorable.
