A rare case of signet ring cell carcinoma of the appendix.
Article in Journal of surgical case reports, 2020. 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
Primary appendiceal carcinoma itself comprises less than 0.5% of all gastrointestinal malignant neoplasms. However, signet ring cell carcinoma of the appendix is an extremely rare subset of primary appendiceal carcinomas. This sub-type of appendiceal carcinoma represents only 4% of all appendiceal carcinomas. In this case report, we present a case of signet ring cell carcinoma found in a 65-year-old male patient which presented as acute appendicitis. He was diagnosed after a laparoscopic appendectomy by histopathological evaluation.
