Comparison of ileocecal resection and right hemicolectomy in the surgical treatment of complicated appendicitis.
Article in Ulusal travma ve acil cerrahi dergisi = Turkish journal of trauma & emergency surgery : TJTES, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundSimple appendectomy with a complicated appendicitis diagnosis could prove difficult, sometimes requiring ex-tended resection. Hence, we aimed to compare two procedures that are preferred for extended resection, ileocecal resection, and right hemicolectomy, in terms of patients' demographic data, preoperative laboratory values (white blood cell [WBC], Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio [N/L], C-reactive protein [CRP]), operation times, postoperative complications, length of hospital stay, and 1-month mortality rates.
methodsWe retrospectively reviewed patients who underwent extended resection with the diagnosis of complicated appen-dicitis in our clinic from February 2015 to December 2020. We divided the patients into two groups those who underwent right hemicolectomy and those who underwent ileocecal resection.
resultsAmong the 55 patients who underwent extended resection with the diagnosis of complicated appendicitis, 32 (58.1%) underwent right hemicolectomy and 23 underwent ileocecal resection (41.8%). The groups did not differ statistically significantly in terms of demographic characteristics, preoperative laboratory values (WBC, N/L, CRP), Clavien-Dindo classification scores, mean hospital stay, or 1-month mortality rates (p>0.005). However, there was a statistically significant difference between the groups in terms of operation time (p<0.001).
conclusionIleocecal resection is a safe procedure for patients diagnosed with complicated appendicitis who are scheduled for extended resection.
