Epiploic Appendagitis: An Important Differential Diagnosis.
Article in Cureus, 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
Epiploic appendagitis is a rare, often misdiagnosed condition that causes acute abdominal pain. The symptoms, such as localized pain that worsens with coughing and stretching, mimic other conditions like appendicitis and diverticulitis. Diagnosis can be made using computed tomography (CT) scans, which show characteristic signs, such as a 2-3 cm fat-density ring, colon wall thickening, and nearby fluid or inflammation. The condition usually resolves naturally or can be treated with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). In this report, a case of a 37-year-old man diagnosed with epiploic appendagitis in the Emergency Department (ED) is presented.
