Neuroendocrine tumors of the appendix: a comprehensive review of the literature and case presentation.
Review in Romanian journal of morphology and embryology = Revue roumaine de morphologie et embryologie. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
Background∕Objectives: Appendiceal neuroendocrine tumors (aNETs), though rare and often incidentally discovered, have shown a rising incidence, particularly among younger individuals, due to improved diagnostic practices, and are generally associated with favorable prognosis, with current evidence supporting conservative, individualized management and tailored surveillance strategies based on tumor size, grade, histopathological features, and imaging findings. Study selection for review: A PubMed search was performed to explore the current understanding of aNETs, with emphasis on their etiopathogenesis, diagnostic criteria, and therapeutic strategies. Case presentation: A 42-year-old man underwent an uneventful laparoscopic appendectomy for acute appendicitis, during which a 5 cm appendix with a pale, nodular tip suggestive of a lesion was resected, leading to the incidental discovery of an aNET. Conclusions: aNETs, though rare, are increasingly detected incidentally and have a favorable prognosis, with individualized management and follow-up guided by tumor features and supported by multidisciplinary care.
