Case report of incidental and asymptomatic appendiceal cavernous hemangioma.
Article in International journal of surgery 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
introductionAppendix hemangiomas are extremely rare - only a few reported cases exist in published literature. CASE PRESENTATION: Here we present the case of incidental appendiceal hemangioma that was discovered upon surgery for unrelated colon cancer. An atypical right hemicolectomy was performed as treatment of this unsuspected pathology. DISCUSSION: Other than in the liver, cavernous hemangiomas are rare intra or retroperitoneal tumors. Only three cases of appendiceal hemangioma exist in published literature and this is the first one that was asymptomatic. Accordingly, there are no tools for making preoperative diagnosis. Focal calcifications and a thickened appendix on computed tomography scans may indicate hemangioma even in this unusual location.
conclusionWe believe that appendectomy or atypical ileocecal resection of the colon is the method of choice for treatment of appendiceal hemangioma due to its non-metastatic potential.
