1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundComplete appendiceal intussusception (CAI) coexisting with appendiceal tumor represents an exceptionally rare clinical tumor. This study presented a retrospective analysis of a case involving CAI complicated by appendiceal mucinous tumor, supplemented by a review of 10 previously reported cases to distill diagnostic and therapeutic insights. CASE SUMMARY: A 74-year-old male patient presented with abdominal pain. Abdominal contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT) initially suggested a colonic tumor with intussusception. Colonoscopy identified a mass in the colon 60 cm from the anus. Intraoperative exploration confirmed CAI secondary to an appendiceal neoplasm. The patient underwent laparoscopic right hemicolectomy with regional lymphadenectomy under general anesthesia. Postoperative recovery was uneventful, and the patient was discharged 9 days post-surgery. Twelve-month follow-up revealed no evidence of recurrence or metastasis.

conclusionPlain abdominal computed tomography may underestimate the presence of CAI and appendiceal mucinous tumor, whereas CECT significantly improves diagnostic accuracy. Preoperative suspicion of appendiceal malignancy should be entertained in cases of CAI. In the absence of definitive biopsy results, intraoperative frozen section analysis is recommended to guide radical resection.
