Incidental Neoplasm and Histopathological Spectrum of Suspected Acute Appendicitis in Appendectomy Specimen: An Observational Study.

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
Introduction: Acute appendicitis is the most common surgical emergency and histopathological studies are the gold standard for confirmation of clinical diagnosis and key methods of discovering appendiceal neoplasm. Appendiceal neoplasms are uncommon and are mostly identified by pathologic examination after appendectomy for presumed appendicitis as an incidental finding. Methods: An observational cross-section study was conducted at a Medical College from 1 Results: Among 350 appendectomy cases, 30 (8.57%) cases had negative appendectomies. Out of total 320 patients, 183 (57.19%) were male and 137 (42.81%) were female. Histopathological findings suggestive of acute appendicitis were observed in 164 (51.25%) specimens and there were 6 (1.87%) specimens suggestive of neoplasms. Amongst the neoplasm of appendix 3 (0.94%) were carcinoid tumours. Conclusions: Appendiceal neoplasms are uncommon which was comparable to previous studies. Carcinoid tumour was the most common incidental neoplasm.
