Perforated Appendicitis With Deciduosis and Free Air Under the Diaphragm During Pregnancy.

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 is the leading non-obstetric surgical emergency during pregnancy. Its diagnosis is complicated by pregnancy-related anatomical changes and poses significant risks for maternal and fetal mortality and morbidity. This report describes a rare case of perforated appendicitis with deciduosis and free air under the diaphragm during pregnancy. A 28-year-old woman presented with severe right lower and middle abdominal pain and signs of inflammation at 31 weeks of gestation. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography revealed free air under the right diaphragm with no evidence of acute perforated appendicitis or peri-appendiceal free air. Suspecting idiopathic gastrointestinal perforation, exploratory surgery was planned following an emergency cesarean section. Exploratory surgery revealed perforated appendicitis with an abscess. Histological examination revealed deciduosis of the appendicitis with a perforation. If appendicitis cannot be identified on imaging during pregnancy and free air is present under the diaphragm, it is necessary to consider the possibility of perforated appendicitis with deciduosis, in addition to idiopathic intestinal perforation.
