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

backgroundThe surgical management of incidentally detected Meckel diverticulum (MD) during appendectomy remains controversial. We present a case report alongside an analysis of the ACS-NSQIP database to evaluate postoperative outcomes associated with concomitant Meckel diverticulectomy during laparoscopic appendectomy. CASE SUMMARY: We report the case of a 34 year-old woman presenting with acute appendicitis and an incidentally detected MD. The patient presented to the emergency department with right lower quadrant pain. Computed tomography revealed acute appendicitis with possible contained perforation. During laparoscopic operative management of her appendicitis, an incidental MD was noted and resected

conclusionResection of incidental MD can be performed during laparoscopic appendectomy without significant morbidity or mortality.
