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
backgroundAppendicitis is an abdominal medical emergency and can be of various types. It can lead to a series of gastrointestinal symptoms and can affect health status. Therefore, attention should be paid to the diagnosis of appendicitis to improve prognosis.
aimTo assess the value of transabdominal superficial ultrasonography (TASU) in the clinical diagnosis of various types of appendicitis.
methodsA total of 100 patients suspected to have acute appendicitis that were admitted to our hospital between July 2022 and July 2024 were selected for this study. All of them underwent conventional abdominal ultrasonography and TASU. Taking surgical pathology as the gold standard, the diagnostic efficacy of the two ultrasonographic examinations was compared, and the ultrasonographic features of patients with different types of appendicitis were analyzed.
resultsComparison with the gold standard showed that among the 100 patients suspected of appendicitis, 72 cases were diagnosed as appendicitis while 28 cases were deemed to be normal. Compared with conventional abdominal ultrasonography, TASU displayed a higher diagnostic efficiency (
conclusionTASU can accurately diagnose appendicitis and also be used to identify the various types of appendicitis, thereby having application value.
