Nonoperative management of uncomplicated acute appendicitis; results of 5 years follow.

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
purposeAs one of the most common surgical emergencies, nonoperative management of acute appendicitis becoming more widespread. Failure rate and recurrences are main problems against nonoperative management. The aim of the current study is to evaluate long term recurrence rate of acute appendicitis after nonoperative management.
methodsThis cohort included patients treated between February 2017 and December 2021 with a mean follow up of 64.2 months. The cohort consists of patients with clinically and radiologically approved uncomplicated acute appendicitis. All patients had a course of nonoperative management with antibiotics. Primary outcome of the study is the recurrence rate of acute appendicitis. Secondary outcomes are failure rate of medical treatment and neoplasia rate.
resultsThe mean age of the participants was 41.51 ± 18.7 years. The cohort consists of 51.7% male and 48.3% female patients. The success rate of nonoperative management of acute appendicitis was found to be 95.7%. At the end of the study 209 patients included in analysis with a mean follow up of 64.2 months. The recurrence rate was found as 5%.
conclusionNonoperative management of uncomplicated acute appendicitis can be used with high success and low recurrence rate.
