Post-endoscopic retrograde appendicitis therapy stent impaction leading to exacerbation of appendicitis: A case report.
Article in World journal of clinical cases, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundEndoscopic retrograde appendicitis therapy (ERAT) is an emerging technique. However, its efficacy remains uncertain, and postoperative complications often exacerbate inflammation, thereby increasing the difficulty of surgery. The use of ERAT in appendicitis remains contentious, prompting the presentation of this case report. CASE SUMMARY: We report the case of a 43-year-old female patient presenting with intermittent right lower abdominal pain for one day. The patient had undergone ERAT six months previously. Examination revealed stent impaction in the appendix, leading to exacerbated inflammation. Subsequently, a solo single-incision laparoscopic appendectomy (SSLA) was performed. The ERAT-related complications increased surgical difficulty and prolonged the operation time. Post-SSLA, the patient was hospitalized for one day and showed favorable recovery upon follow-up.
conclusionThis case highlights the risks of ERAT. Thorough preoperative assessment, proper stent placement during surgery and regular postoperative follow-up are crucial in preventing complications, as their occurrence can increase surgical difficulty. Compared to ERAT, SSLA remains more widely used in clinical practice. Both techniques require further clinical data and research to optimize their application.
