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

Colonoscopic diagnosis of acute appendicitis is extremely rare. Although a few appendicitis cases were reported in literature following colonoscopy, we present a case today of a patient who underwent elective colonoscopy for colorectal cancer screening. The presence of an inflamed appendiceal orifice with projecting pus was documented, and the patient was referred to the surgical team for intervention. Endoscopic and intra-operative results are also illustrated.
