Appendiceal Mucinous Neoplasm: An Unexpected Diagnosis in Abdominal Pain.
Article in Cureus, 2025. 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
Appendiceal mucinous neoplasms are neoplastic appendicular lesions resulting from the abnormal accumulation of mucin in the appendix. These neoplasms can be asymptomatic or present with vague, nonspecific symptoms. Although generally considered benign, they carry the risk of severe complications such as pseudomyxoma peritonei. We present a 17-year-old boy with fever and suprapubic pain radiating to the right lower quadrant, with no definitive clinical, imaging, or intraoperative macroscopic diagnosis, who was found to have an appendiceal mucinous neoplasm. He underwent complete resection of the appendix with negative margins, without the need for further treatment. As a rare entity in pediatric patients, these neoplasms pose both diagnostic and therapeutic challenges with ongoing debate regarding the best surgical approach, appropriate adjuvant therapy, duration of follow-up, and imaging techniques for their management. This case highlights an unusual way of diagnosing an uncommon neoplasm.
