Case report on appendicitis with intraluminal ascariasis.
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
Appendicitis commonly causes abdominal surgical emergencies, occurring with an incidence of 7%-14%. In tropical regions where it is endemic, ascariasis ranks as the most prevalent helminth infection. Intestinal helminths move through the digestive system and can block the appendix lumen, resulting in appendicitis due to luminal obstruction. In this case, we present an 8-year-old female who experienced periumbilical pain that shifted to the right lower abdomen over 3 days. She also vomited and lost her appetite. An abdominal ultrasound confirmed appendicitis, but the ultrasound did not visualize the cause of the obstruction. During surgery, doctors discovered intraluminal ascariasis as the cause of the obstruction and associated inflammation.
