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 appendicitis is the leading emergency condition among surgical abdominal diseases. The treatment of choice for appendicitis is open or laparoscopic appendectomy. There are different methods for appendiceal stump closure. Laparoscopic ap-pendectomy became more applicable with hand-made endo-loop applications to close the appendiceal stump, especially in state hospi-tals where the resources were limited. This article aims to evaluate the outcomes of patients undergoing laparoscopic appendectomy with the appendiceal stump closure using a hand-made endo-loop.
methodsFifty patients undergoing laparoscopic appendectomy with the appendiceal stump closure using a hand-made endo-loop in the General Surgery Department of our hospital between June 2014 and December 2018 were evaluated. The ages, genders, length of stay in the hospital, complications, and histopathological investigation results of the patients were gathered retrospectively. Lapa-roscopic appendectomy was performed with three ports. The appendiceal stump was closed using two hand-made endo-loops. The loop was made with a modification of Roeder's loop whose safety was proven in the literature. The first port was introduced to the abdomen with the open method. SPSS 26.0 statistical program was used for statistical analysis.
resultsThirty-one (62%) of patients were males and 19 (38%) of them were females. The mean age was 32.2±11.9 years. The age ranged between 19 and 74 years. The median length of stay in the hospital of the patients was 1.12±0.47 days. One of the patients was 21 weeks pregnant. A surgical site infection occurred in one patient during the post-operative period. Recovery was obtained with antibiotherapy. No leakage through the base of the appendix or cecal fistula was determined in none of the patients.
conclusionOne of the most important parameters in the cost of laparoscopic appendectomy is the closure technique of the stump. The cost comes into question much more especially in state hospitals where the resources are limited. Appendiceal stump closure using a hand-made endo-loop is an easy, safe, and cost-effective method.
