[Incidental finding of mucinous neoplasia of the appendix : Treatment strategies].
Review in Der Chirurg; Zeitschrift fur alle Gebiete der operativen Medizen, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Tumors of the appendix are not a uniform group but differ significantly in terms of their origin/histology and metastatic behavior. Furthermore, tumors of the appendix are often diagnosed as incidental findings after appendectomy for acute appendicitis. A subgroup of these neoplasms are low-grade appendiceal mucinous neoplasms (LAMN). These are mucus-forming tumors of the appendiceal lumen, which can lead to rupture of the appendix and seeding into the abdominal cavity. Therefore LAMN are considered precursors of pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP). It is essential to clearly differentiate the subgroups of LAMN as well as the resection status. According to this it is determined whether (radical) appendectomy is a sufficient therapy or further treatment, such as ileocecal resection with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) or cytoreductive surgery (CRS) is necessary. There is no standardized concept regarding the follow-up after resection of LAMN. Generally, it is recommended to perform a computed tomography (CT) scan of the abdomen and determination of tumor markers 6 months postoperatively and then once a year. A recommendation regarding the duration of follow-up is difficult as there are case reports in which PMP has occurred more than 15 years after removal of LAMN.
