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
Objective: Transumbilical single-site double-port laparoscopic appendectomy (TSSDPLA) represents an innovative and minimally invasive approach for managing acute appendicitis. This study aims to compare the clinical outcomes of TSSDPLA vs. three-port laparoscopic appendectomy (TPLA) in a pediatric series. Method: A retrospective analysis was conducted between July 2023 and July 2024 at the Department of General Surgery, Children's Hospital affiliated to Shandong University. The patients were categorized into two groups: the TSSDPLA group and the TPLA group. Outcomes including patient demographics, leukocyte count upon arrival, duration of the operation, costs associated with the operating room, and any complications encountered. Results: The results indicated no significant differences between the TSSDPLA and TPLA groups in terms of age, gender, leukocyte counts, liquid diet, length of hospital stay, pathology or complications. However, the mean operating room costs were significantly lower in the TSSDPLA group ( Conclusions: TSSDPLA is a reliable technical technique for the management of acute appendicitis. This approach offers several advantages, including improved cosmetic outcomes, reduced surgical trauma, and lower costs.
