1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 neoplasms are usually asymptomatic or associated with mild, nonspecific symptoms. Due to the rarity of the disease and the lack of specific symptoms, this clinical entity escapes the diagnostic consideration of the gynecologist, when women come in with right iliac fossa pain. A case is presented of a 56-year-old woman with a mass in the right small pelvis, which was preoperatively diagnosed as originating from the ovary. An exploratory laparotomy followed in which the uterus and appendages were found to be macroscopically normal, while the mass described above came from the appendix, extended into the anatomical area of the right accessory, and was in contact with the atrophic right ovary. The appendix vermiformis was removed intact. The final pathologic examination confirmed an acellular mucinous tumor of the appendix. Accurate preoperative diagnosis of mucoceles is extremely difficult to make. The formation is discovered in a random imaging test, and the diagnosis is confirmed only intraoperatively.
