Comparison of outcomes of open and laparoscopic appendectomy: A retrospective cohort study.
Article in Health science reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Background: Open appendectomy has been the conventional choice of treatment for acute appendicitis. However, nowadays laparoscopic approach is emerging for the benefits it provides, like lesser postoperative pain and lesser duration of hospital stay, but at the cost of higher expenses and longer operative duration. Methods: A retrospective cohort study was done at Shree Birendra Hospital from January 2018 to December 2021, with a total study population of 450 participants (300 in open appendectomy and 150 in laparoscopic appendectomy). Preoperative. Intraoperative and postoperative parameters were compared and analyzed between two groups using SPSS-25. Results: The mean age was 26.72 ± 9.70 in the open appendectomy (OA) and years 23.89 ± 6.32 in the laparoscopic appendectomy (LA) group. ( Conclusion: All in all, the laparoscopic approach is a better option for uncomplicated appendicitis due to its less postoperative pain and shorter duration of hospital stay.
