Balancing a Surgical vs. Non-surgical Approach in Perforated Appendicitis.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Appendicitis is the inflammation of the appendix, one of the common causes of acute abdomen that may indicate emergency abdominal surgical intervention. However, when complicated by perforation, phlegmon, and/or abscess formation, the standard and traditional treatment with the approach for a surgical intervention has been questioned regarding its risks and benefits. In this case presentation, our patient, who presented with perforated appendicitis complicated by phlegmon formation and ileus, was managed with a conservation approach through antibiotics and percutaneous drain placement. Although a conservative, non-surgical approach with interval appendectomy has become more of the popular approach in developed countries for complicated appendicitis due to increased morbidity in immediate appendectomy due to inflammation-associated adhesions, we wanted to present a case where a conservative approach can still lead to extended hospital stays due to complications.
