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

Introduction: Acute appendicitis and acute cholecystitis are two of the most commonly encountered surgical entities. Multiple hypotheses are behind their coexistence, which include pathogen predilection, and mucosal ischemia inducing portal vein bacteremia as the management of uncomplicated acute cholecystitis and acute appendicitis is surgical, for which a single operation for synchronous presentation is effective. Here, we report a case with coexistent acute cholecystitis and acute appendicitis managed at our institution. Case/Technique Description: A 30-year-old female presented with right upper quadrant abdominal pain for four days. The pain was radiating to the right shoulder, not related to fatty foods, associated with vomiting, anorexia, and burning micturition. On examination, she was vitally stable and afebrile with soft nondistended abdomen, a negative Murphy's sign, right lower quadrant rebound tenderness, and suprapubic tenderness. Laboratory tests showed leukocytosis (17.59 × 10 Conclusion: We aim to shed light on the rare, but possible, synchronous coexistence of these diseases, raise the index of clinical suspicion. Management options for synchronous presentation can follow their asynchronous guidelines such as Tokyo and WSES.
