Variable Radiological Presentations of Acute Appendicitis With Epiploic Appendagitis as a Differential Diagnosis: A Case Series.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Acute appendicitis (AA) is one of the most common causes of lower abdominal pain and requires prompt and accurate diagnosis to prevent complications. However, its clinical presentation and radiologic findings can vary widely, and the condition may be mimicked by other intra-abdominal pathologies. This case series illustrates the diverse presentations of acute appendicitis, emphasizing the variability in imaging findings, and highlights epiploic appendagitis as a rare but important differential diagnosis. The series underscores the critical role of advanced imaging, particularly contrast-enhanced CT, in ensuring accurate diagnosis and appropriate management.
