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

backgroundMalignant tumors of the appendix are extremely rare, constituting about 1% of all gastrointestinal tumors. Generally, pathology identifies these tumors during or after appendectomy because they are difficult to detect at the preoperative stage. This case report aims to introduce the definitive diagnosis and treatment of mucinous adenocarcinoma of the appendix. CASE SUMMARY: A 49-year-old female patient came to our hospital with right lower abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting for three days. There was no change in the menstrual cycle. Gynecological ultrasound showed a cystic, solid mass in the right adnexa. Abdominal enhanced computed tomography showed a thick appendix. Cancer was found on exploration of the appendix during gynecological surgery. The right colon was removed. After surgery, the patient received chemotherapy and is recovering well.

conclusionAppendiceal carcinoma is frequently found during or after surgery, and both preoperative examination and early evaluation of clinical manifestations are extremely important.
