[Recommendations on treatment of acute appendicitis : Recommendations of an expert group based on the current literature].
Review in Der Chirurg; Zeitschrift fur alle Gebiete der operativen Medizen, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
The paradigm shift in the treatment concept for acute appendicitis is currently the subject of intensive discussions. The diagnosis and differentiation of an uncomplicated from a complicated appendicitis as well as the selection of an adequate treatment is very challenging, especially since nonoperative treatment models have been published. The laparoscopic appendectomy is still the standard for most cases. Guidelines for the treatment of acute appendicitis do not exist in Germany. Therefore, a group of experts elaborated 21 recommendations on the treatment of acute appendicitis after 3 meetings. After initial definition of population, intervention, comparison and outcome (PICO) questions, recommendations have been finalized through the Delphi voting system. The results were evaluated according to the current literature. The aim of this initiative was to define a basic support for decision making in the clinical routine for treatment of acute appendicitis.
