Massive appendiceal mucinous neoplasm diagnosed after abdominal trauma: Pitfalls in imaging and diagnosis.
Article in Radiology case reports, 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
Low grade appendiceal mucinous neoplasm (LAMN) is a rare tumor presenting typically with symptoms of acute appendicitis. A 33-year-old gentleman presented with abdominal fullness and discomfort secondary to abdominal trauma obtained during boxing training. Investigations with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), ultrasound, and colonoscopy revealed a large cystic lesion in the ascending colon mesentery with unclear continuation with the appendix. There were no obvious features of malignancy. Laparoscopy revealed a large, firm mass connected to the appendix with enlarged lymph nodes, and the patient underwent radical resection with a right hemicolectomy. Histopathology revealed complete excision of LAMN with no lymphatic involvement. Post traumatic intra-abdominal cystic lesions pose a diagnostic challenge, and neoplastic lesions cannot be ruled out with imaging alone, even with benign appearances. Careful surgical excision and histopathological diagnosis is the only definitive method of ruling-out malignancy.
