Concomitant occurrence of appendiceal mucocele and ulcerative colitis: Case reports.
Article in Caspian journal of internal medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Background: Appendiceal mucocele (AM) is a rare disease, manifested by accumulation of mucus in appendiceal lumen. The role of ulcerative colitis (UC) in the occurrence of appendiceal mucocele is not known. However, it is suggested that AM may be a presentation of colorectal cancer in IBD patients. Case Presentation: Here, we presented 3 cases of concomitant AM and ulcerative colitis. The first patient was a 55-year-old woman with 2-year history of left sided UC; the second person was a 52-year-old woman with 12-year history of pan-UC; and the third patient was a 60-year-old man with 11-year history of pan-colitis. They were all referred due to indolent right lower quadrant abdominal pain. Imaging evaluations suggested the presence of appendiceal mucocele and therefore, they all went under operation. Pathologic evaluation reported AM of mucinous cyst adenoma type; low-grade appendiceal mucinous neoplasm of appendix with intact serosa; and cyst-adenoma type AM for the three above-mentioned patients, respectively. Conclusion: Although concomitant occurrence of AM and ulcerative colitis is rare, regarding the potential of neoplastic changes in AM, physicians must keep in mind the diagnosis of AM in UC patients with non-specific abdominal RLQ pain or bulged appendiceal orifice during colonoscopy.
