Complicated Appendicitis in a Pediatric Patient With COVID-19: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Perforated appendicitis is a well-known complication of acute appendicitis (AA), which increases the morbidity rate in children. This report discusses the case of a pediatric patient with perforated appendicitis with a secondary diagnosis of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The clinical presentation of complicated appendicitis (CA) in association with COVID-19 may not be different from that in the general population. Our patient underwent successful management with open appendectomy and subsequent antibiotics. There is no evidence to alter the standard of care for such patients. So further studies are needed to provide more clarity on the appropriate management.
