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

We report a case of ruptured low-grade appendiceal mucinous neoplasm with an impressive toy puffer ball-like appearance on magnetic resonance imaging. A 79-year-old woman with lower abdominal pain underwent computed tomography scanning, revealing a 6-cm mass in the right lower abdomen. T2-weighted images showed a radial low-signal structure in the central area of the mass, which was presumed to be fibrotic. Pathology confirmed ruptured low-grade appendiceal mucinous neoplasm. The rupture point was at the tip of the appendix, coinciding with the center of radial fibrosis. The unique morphology of the puffer ball-like appearance in this case may be a characteristic of low-grade appendiceal mucinous neoplasms.
