1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Appendiceal torsion is a rare phenomenon, presenting with symptoms mimicking acute appendicitis. Preoperative imaging generally has a low pick-up rate of appendicular torsion and is thus mostly diagnosed intraoperatively. The cause of the appendicular torsion should guide the required surgical resection to ensure adequate oncological treatment. Therefore, emphasis should be placed on minimal tissue handling in such operative cases to reduce the risk of accidental rupture, tumour spillage and spread.
