Double whammy: Acute suppurative appendicitis on top of Meckel's diverticulum.
Article in Radiology case reports, 2025. 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
Meckel's diverticulum (MD), a congenital abnormality occurring in 0.3% to 3% of individuals, shares overlapping clinical features with acute appendicitis (AA), a common surgical emergency, making simultaneous presentation diagnostically challenging. An 11-year-old boy presented with right lower abdominal pain, fever, and loss of appetite, exhibiting positive Rovsing and Psoas signs. Elevated inflammatory markers and ultrasound findings suggested acute appendicitis with concurrent Meckel's diverticulitis. Surgery confirmed acute suppurative appendicitis and an inflamed MD, both of which were successfully treated with appendectomy and segmental intestinal resection. The patient had an uneventful recovery and remained well during follow-up. This case highlights the importance of considering MD in pediatric abdominal pain and performing thorough intraoperative assessments to ensure accurate diagnosis and effective treatment.
