Incidence of Appendiceal Malignancies in Sweden Between 1970 and 2012.
Article in World journal of surgery, 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
backgroundThere is limited knowledge about the epidemiology of the major histological subtypes of appendiceal malignancy: adenocarcinoma and neuroendocrine neoplasm of the appendix (A-NEN). The aims of this national cohort study were to assess the prevalence, incidence and trends of appendiceal malignancies in Sweden.
methodAll individuals who underwent appendicectomy and all diagnosed with appendiceal malignancy from 1970 to 2012 were identified from the National Patient Register and the Swedish Cancer Registry. Demographic data of the background population were obtained from Statistics Sweden. The incidence rate (IR) and the prevalence of appendiceal malignancy per performed appendicectomy were calculated.
resultsWe identified 3774 patients with appendiceal malignancy. IR of A-NEN was 5.8/10
conclusionAdenocarcinoma is most common and increasing in the elderly, whereas A-NEN affects all ages with a peak in young age. This peak probably reflects removal of occult A-NEN due to the higher appendicectomy frequency in the young.
