Acute Perforated Appendicitis Associated with Appendiceal Diverticulitis in a Young Man: A Case Report with Literature Review.
Review in The American journal of case reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
BACKGROUND Diverticulosis of the vermiform appendix is rare. In patients who present with appendicitis, appendiceal diverticulitis as a cause due is also rare. We report the case of a 35-year-old man who presented with typical symptoms and signs of acute appendicitis, which was confirmed by histopathology to be due to perforated acute appendiceal diverticulitis. CASE REPORT A 35-year-old man presented to our Emergency Department with a 1-day history of right lower-quadrant abdominal pain that radiated to the left lower quadrant, which was associated with fever, vomiting, and abdominal distention. Biochemical analysis revealed mild leukocytosis. Computed tomography (CT) revealed signs of acute perforated appendicitis and early mass formation. The patient underwent laparoscopic appendectomy. Histopathological examination revealed appendiceal diverticulitis (pseudo-diverticulum). CONCLUSIONS Appendiceal diverticulitis is a rare surgical entity and is often an overlooked diagnosis. The differential diagnosis of appendiceal diverticulitis in patients presenting with signs of acute appendicitis is important as it is associated with a higher rate of complications such as perforation and an increased risk of appendiceal neoplasms. Appendectomy is a safe and appropriate treatment for appendiceal diverticulitis.
