Appendiceal Mucocele Presenting as a Cecal Bulge on Surveillance Colonoscopy.
Article in Cureus, 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
Appendiceal mucoceles are rare tumors with diverse presentations and clinical implications. Generally, mucoceles are discovered on imaging or intraoperatively, but, rarely, can be found on colonoscopy. Appendectomy is the recommended next step in management, followed by subsequent treatment according to guidelines dictated by pathology findings. We present the case of a 52-year-old female undergoing routine colonoscopy screening who had incidental findings of a cecal bulge at the appendiceal orifice. The patient was entirely asymptomatic with an unremarkable medical history. Further workup suggested appendiceal mucocele and she was referred to surgery. After an appendectomy, pathology confirmed simple appendiceal mucocele. The patient made a full recovery and continued routine colonoscopy screening. This case demonstrates the variance in the clinical presentation of appendiceal mucocele and the possibility of discovery on routine screening colonoscopy.
