Primary caecal epiploic appendagitis mimicking acute appendicitis: A diagnostic dilemma of right lower abdominal pain.
Article in Radiology case reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Epiploic appendagitis is a benign and self-limiting condition that has garnered more recognition, particularly in preoperative settings, thanks to advancements in imaging techniques, notably computed tomography (CT). Its distinct radiologic features facilitate accurate diagnosis prior to surgery. Despite its unique characteristics, the clinical presentation of epiploic appendagitis often resembles that of various other intra-abdominal medical and surgical conditions, leading to potential confusion. Here, we present the case of a 37-year-old otherwise healthy woman who was diagnosed with primary epiploic appendagitis based on CT scan findings conducted initially for suspected appendicitis. The patient received successful conservative treatment. This paper seeks to highlight the importance of recognizing this clinical condition and its characteristic imaging features, aiming to prevent unnecessary hospitalizations, antibiotic treatments, and the associated morbidity and mortality linked with surgical interventions.
