Left side appendiceal abscess in a patient with intestinal nonrotation: Case report.
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 3 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
Intestinal nonrotation is the most common type of mid-gut anomaly where the small bowel predominantly occupies the right side of the peritoneal cavity, while the colon primarily resides on the left. The occurrence of acute appendicitis in mid-gut anomalies poses a serious diagnostic challenge due to unprecedented clinical and imaging features. Here we present a 20-year-old female who came to the hospital with left lower abdominal pain of 3 weeks duration, referred with a diagnosis of tubo-ovarian abscess. Further evaluation with an abdominopelvic CT scan revealed ileocecal junction in the left lower quadrant with a well-defined appendiceal abscess. The absence of a prior diagnosis of nonrotation, combined with the atypical presentation of pain, complicates the diagnosis of appendicitis. We emphasize the significance of considering left-sided appendicitis as a potential diagnosis for left-sided abdominal pain and recommend early cross-sectional imaging to prevent complications and improve surgical outcomes.
