Outcomes of laparoscopic single-incision caecal pole resection for low-grade appendiceal mucinous neoplasm.
Article in Journal of minimal access surgery, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
introductionLow-grade appendiceal mucinous neoplasm (LAMN) is a rare disease, and its clinical course varies from an incidental finding without symptoms to pseudomyxoma peritonei. Furthermore, there are few established treatment guidelines. This study was designed to confirm the outcomes in patients diagnosed with LAMN who underwent single-incision laparoscopic caecal pole resection. PATIENTS AND
methodsThis study was conducted on pathologically confirmed LAMNs from patients who underwent surgery at a single centre, a tertiary institution, from July 2016 to August 2022. Patients diagnosed with LAMN as a result of biopsy were included. All surgeries were performed with single-incision laparoscopic caecal pole resection by a single surgeon.
resultsA total of 70 patients were included. The median age was 65.5 years and 36 (51.4%) patients were female. The baseline carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) was 8.08 ng/mL (0.76-148.11). The mean maximum diameter was 29.4 mm (7-70) and calcification was seen in 22 cases on pre-operative computed tomography (CT). As a result of histological examination, all patients were marginally negative. The larger the tumour size, the higher the CEA was ( P = 0.011), and it was often accompanied by calcification ( P = 0.021). In addition, tumour size and CEA showed a positive partial correlation with each other ( r = 0.318, P = 0.018). The overall median follow-up period was 22.7 months (2-60). One case had suspected of recurrence on CT scan performed at 33 months following the surgery, but there were no related symptoms.
conclusionSingle-port laparoscopic caecal pole resection without margin involvement in LAMN was safe and feasible, and showed a favourable long-term outcome.
