The Significance of Appendiceal Diverticulosis to the Emergency General Surgeon: A Case Report and Literature Review.

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
Acute appendicitis is a common acute general surgical presentation; however, variants in the appendicular anatomy and the presence of cancers can complicate the surgical management of this condition. Appendiceal diverticula (AD) are rare pathological outpouchings along the appendix body. These outpouchings complicate and obscure the surgical planes, making adequate surgical resection of the appendix difficult. We report here the surgical management of a rare case of AD with a benign neuroma that highlights the importance of adequate pre-operative planning and variations in the standard anatomy. Through the literature review, the association of AD with cancers arising from the appendix is also presented.
