Appendiceal bleeding: A case report.
Article in World journal of clinical cases, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
backgroundAcute lower gastrointestinal bleeding is common in clinical practice, and the colon is responsible for the majority of cases. However, appendiceal bleeding is an extremely rare cause. Appendiceal bleeding due to vascular diseases, such as angiodysplasia and Dieulafoy's lesion, may result in massive lower gastrointestinal bleeding. Appendectomy is a reliable and effective option for treatment. CASE SUMMARY: A 32-year-old male presented to our hospital with hematochezia that had lasted for 6 h, with approximately 600-800 mL bloody stools and loss of consciousness for a few seconds. Persistent bleeding from the orifice of the appendix was observed by colonoscopy. Following the new diagnosis of appendiceal bleeding, the patient was treated by an emergency laparoscopic appendectomy. Finally, the patient was pathologically diagnosed with appendiceal Dieulafoy's lesion. The patient was uneventfully discharged, and follow-up 2 wk later showed no evidence of rebleeding.
conclusionAlthough appendiceal bleeding is a rare cause of acute lower gastrointestinal bleeding, clinicians should consider it during differential diagnosis.
