Mucinous Adenocarcinoma of the Appendix: The Challenges of Managing a Complex Surgical Case.
Article in Cureus, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Mucinous adenocarcinomas of the appendix are rare and often present as a suspected appendicitis. Diagnostic work-up encompasses colonoscopy, tissue biopsy, CT scan, and a multidisciplinary team input. Management involves surgery, hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy, and adjuvant chemotherapy. Our patient was known to be human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) positive; therefore, careful consideration had to be taken in starting adjuvant chemotherapy as there were concerns of drug interactions and further immunosuppression. Despite all these challenges the patient has had an excellent outcome with no evidence of recurrence or distant disease.
