Comparison of two methods: Clipping and suturing in laparoscopic appendectomy.
Article in Surgery open science, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map.

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.

Abstract
Objective: Closure of the appendix stump after appendectomy is considered one of the most important parts of laparoscopic appendectomy. Various techniques are used during this surgery, commonly including endoclips and ligatures. Therefore, this study was conducted to compare endoclips with intra-corporeal ligatures in closing the appendix stump during laparoscopic appendectomy. Methods: This retrospective study was conducted using data from 50 patients with acute appendicitis who underwent uncomplicated laparoscopic appendectomy. The data from patients whose stumps were closed using endoclips in 25 patients (Group I) and with intra-corporeal ligatures in 25 patients (Group II) were extracted and compared regarding the occurrence of intraoperative and postoperative complications. Results: There were no differences between the two methods in terms of intraoperative and postoperative complications. The duration of surgery in the ligature group was significantly longer than in the clip group ( Conclusion: Endoclips for closing the appendix stump are safer with a shorter operating time and also a simpler method. Therefore, they could be a reliable alternative to the method of closing the appendix stump with ligatures.
