Management of Perforated Appendicitis in Amyand's Hernia: A Multidisciplinary Approach to Complex Postoperative Complications.
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
Amyand's hernia is an exceptionally rare condition in which the appendix is located within an inguinal hernia sac. While it is typically asymptomatic, the occurrence of appendicitis or perforation within these hernias presents significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. We report a unique case involving a 31-year-old male patient who developed perforated appendicitis within an Amyand's hernia, resulting in severe intra-abdominal infection and complex postoperative complications, including the formation of multiple abscesses at three different sites. A multidisciplinary approach, involving general surgery, infectious disease, interventional radiology (IR), and urology, was crucial for effective source control and infection management. This case underscores the importance of individualized surgical decision-making in cases of Amyand's hernia with significant inflammatory involvement, emphasizing the necessity for timely recognition and intervention to minimize complications and improve patient outcomes.
