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

Low-grade appendiceal mucinous neoplasms (LAMNs) are rare appendiceal tumors that are primarily diagnosed using computed tomography(CT) enhancement and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Herein, we report the sonographic features, especially for contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS), of a 70-year-old female with an unusual LAMN metastasizing to the peritoneum and spleen. The patient had a right pelvic mass 2 days prior to presentation. Two-dimensional (2D) ultrasound revealed a mixed cystic-solid mass in the right lower abdomen and spleen parenchyma; CEUS showed heterogeneous enhancement in both areas, suspected to be a mucinous mass. CT enhancement and MRI findings revealed concurrent findings. Histopathologically, LAMN lesions were confirmed in the appendix, spleen, and peritoneum of the specimens obtained during exploratory laparoscopy. No recurrences were reported at three years postoperatively. LAMN lesions may metastasize to abdominal organs, and imaging examinations are essential for diagnosis. This study presents major ultrasonography and CEUS findings for the diagnosis of LAMNs.
