A Case Report on Fish Bone Perforating Meckel's Diverticulum Mimicking Appendicitis.
Article in Cureus, 2022. 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
Meckel's diverticulum (MD) is the most frequent congenital abnormality of the digestive tract. Although it is silent, it can rarely come up as a complicated case including but not limited to obstruction, inflammation, and neoplasm. Perforation as a consequence of MD is extremely infrequent and mostly related to foreign objects. We report a case of a 24-year-old man who presented to the emergency department with signs and symptoms suggestive of acute appendicitis. Computed tomography (CT) of the abdomen demonstrated foreign body perforation from a protrusion outside the small bowel. The patient underwent laparoscopy and a fish bone perforating MD was found which was removed.
