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 lymphomas of appendix are extremely rare tumors. The incidence is 0.015% out of all gastrointestinal lymphomas; furthermore, limited data is available in literature. The appendiceal neoplasms are most commonly presented as acute appendicitis followed intestinal obstruction, intussusception or perforation. We present a case of a 22 year-old male patient who presented with acute appenditis and underwent emergency laparotomy. On abdominal exploration, swollen and enlarged appendix measured 3cm was present for which appendectomy were performed. The histopathological examination of appendectomy specimen revealed a Burkitt's Lymphoma. The patient received R-COPADEM protocol of chemotherapy. Primary gastrointestinal lymphoma is a extremely rare neoplasm without guidelines for therapy.
