Idiopathic Granulomatous Appendicitis: A Case Report and Review of the Literature.
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
Idiopathic granulomatous appendicitis (IGA) is a rare condition that clinically presents similar to acute appendicitis, with symptoms such as abdominal pain, fever, and anorexia. We report a case of a 30-year-old postpartum female who presented with symptoms of acute appendicitis. Imaging revealed a thickened appendix, and laparoscopic appendectomy was performed. Intraoperative findings led to conversion to laparotomy with ileocolic resection. Histopathology confirmed granulomatous appendicitis with focal suppuration and no evidence of Crohn's disease or infection. IGA is diagnosed by excluding other infectious or non-infectious causes, and appendectomy is the treatment of choice, with a favorable prognosis. The condition requires careful pathological evaluation to avoid unnecessary extensive surgery.
