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
Introduction and importance: Appendicitis is a common cause of acute abdomen in children. Due to its distinct clinical manifestations, often, its diagnosis is not very challenging. At younger age cases with atypical manifestations of appendicitis have been reported in the literature. In this study, we report seizure as another manifestation of appendicitis. Case presentation: A young man presented to our clinic with diarrhea, abdominal pain, fever and history of seizure in past few days. After para-clinical examinations, he was primarily diagnosed as case of viral encephalitis and referred to our center. As his condition worsened, further work-up were done and he was finally diagnosed as perforated appendicitis. Conclusion: Since perforated appendicitis could present with gastroenteritis accompanied by seizure, we believe in patients without a neurological history who present with seizures and loss of consciousness, abdominal problems must be considered.
