"Rule out appendicitis": a Canadian emergency radiology perspective on medicolegal risks, imaging pitfalls, and strategies to improve care.
Review in Emergency radiology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
We provide a unique Canadian perspective on the medicolegal risks associated with imaging acute appendicitis, incorporating data requested from the Canadian Medical Protective Association (CMPA) on closed medicolegal cases over the past decade. We include a review of current clinical and imaging guidelines in the diagnosis and management of this common emergency room presentation. A case-based approach is implemented in this article to explore ways to mitigate potential errors in the diagnosis of acute appendicitis.
