Subhepatic Appendicitis Presenting With Recurrent Abdominal Pain.
Article in Cureus, 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
Gut malrotation may result in failure of descent of the cecum to the right iliac fossa, resulting in the anomaly where the cecum and appendix are situated in the subhepatic/gallbladder region. Although the true incidence of subhepatic cecum or appendix is not known, there is a handful of case reports in the literature describing the diagnosis and management of subhepatic appendicitis and associated challenges. Some case reports describe subhepatic appendicitis, where the cecum is in a normal position, but the subhepatic tip of the long appendix gets perforated or inflamed, resulting in the process being in the subhepatic region. We report a patient with subhepatic appendicitis, who had multiple episodes of abdominal pain for almost one year, treated with antibiotics, but was never diagnosed properly. The case was diagnosed by abdominal sonography and was managed successfully in our institution.
