A Rare Case of Concurrent Chilaiditi Syndrome and Acute Appendicitis: An Uncommon Diagnostic Dilemma With Literature Review.
Article in Cureus, 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
Chilaiditi syndrome, characterized by the interposition of the colon between the diaphragm and the liver, is a rare anatomical variant often discovered incidentally during imaging for unrelated conditions. While typically asymptomatic, it can occasionally lead to gastrointestinal symptoms or complications such as bowel obstruction, volvulus, or even appendicitis, an exceptionally rare occurrence. We report the case of a 60-year-old female diagnosed with Chilaiditi syndrome who developed acute appendicitis. She underwent a successful laparoscopic appendicectomy with an uncomplicated postoperative recovery. This case underscores the diagnostic challenges of Chilaiditi syndrome, particularly when coexisting with acute abdominal conditions, and highlights the importance of advanced imaging, such as CT, in atypical presentations.
