Nomenclature of appendiceal mucinous lesions according to the 2019 WHO Classification of Tumors of the Digestive System.
Article in The Turkish journal of gastroenterology : the official journal of Turkish Society of Gastroenterology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
BACKGROUND/
aimsTo analysis the appendiceal mucinous lesions according to the World Health Organization (WHO) 2019 classification of tumors of the digestive system (non-neuroendocrine tumors of the appendix vermiformis) MATERIALS AND
methodsClinical and histopathological data of 37 patients with histopathologically proven appendiceal mucinous lesion from January 2010 to May 2019 were evaluated retrospectively. Pathology slides were re-evaluated by two pathologists according to the WHO 2019 classification of tumors of the digestive system.
resultsTotally 37 patients (male:19 female: 18) aged 23 to 93 years were analyzed. Majority of the patients (75.7 %) had underwent appendectomy due to preliminary diagnosis of acute appendicitis (n=22) or periappendiceal tumoral lesions (n=9), the others (n=9) underwent incidental appendectomy. Whereas acute appendicitis was histopathologically diagnosed in 16 (43.2%) patients, perforation was diagnosed in 12 (32.4%) patients (perforation without appendicitis=3, perforation with appendicitis=6). According to the initial, pathology reports were prepared as follows: mucocele (n=10), mucinous cystadenoma (n=9), low-grade mucinous neoplasm (n=6), mucinous adenocarcinoma (n=5), mucosal hyperplasia (n=5), hyperplastic polyp (n=1), adenomatous polyp (n=1). On the basis of the WHO 2019 classification, pathology reports were prepared as follows: low-grade mucinous neoplasm (n=17), simple retention cysts (n=6), hyperplastic polyp (n=6), mucinous adenocarcinoma (n=5), ruptured appendiceal diverticula (n=2), sessile serrated lesion (n=1).
conclusionThe term of appendiceal mucinous lesion, which is recently introduced into medical literature is suitable to distinguish between lesions with and without malignancy potential. The WHO 2019 classification system has been an important step in simplifying the classification of non- neuroendocrine tumors of the appendix vermiformis.
