1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

rationaleAppendiceal mucinous tumors with intussusception are extremely rare. As primary lesions, malignant tumors often present with atypical clinical symptoms, which increases the likelihood of misdiagnosis. PATIENT CONCERNS: A 79-year-old female patient of Miao ethnicity in Guizhou Province, China, was admitted with intermittent paroxysmal abdominal pain for 20 days and abdominal distension for 3 days. DIAGNOSES: Computed tomography revealed ileal intussusception in the lower abdomen, suspected to be associated with a tumor.

interventionsLaparoscopy-assisted right hemicolectomy was performed. OUTCOMES: Postoperative histopathology showed a low-grade appendiceal mucinous tumor with mucinous components extending into the muscularis propria and localized calcification. Regular follow-up was recommended. LESSONS: Low-grade appendiceal mucinous tumors are extremely rare and are even less common when complicated by intussusception. Their clinical presentation is nonspecific, which may result in missed diagnosis. Therefore, thorough preoperative evaluation and careful surgical planning are essential for improving prognosis and minimizing the risk of severe complications.
