Clinicopathologic and Molecular Characteristics of High-Grade Appendiceal Mucinous Neoplasms.
Article in Annals of surgical oncology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundAlthough 2016 consensus guidelines defined high-grade appendiceal mucinous neoplasms (HAMNs) as a distinct histologic entity, their clinical course and optimal management remain poorly characterized. Comparative data with low-grade appendiceal mucinous neoplasms (LAMNs) are limited. This study aims to detail the clinical management and outcomes of patients with HAMN and those with LAMN.
methodsThis retrospective cohort study was conducted at a large academic cancer center. An internal database was queried to identify patients with LAMN or HAMN who underwent appendectomy between 2016 and 2024. Kaplan-Meier survival analyses were used to assess the impact of primary tumor type and peritoneal disease (PD) on recurrence-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS).
resultsOf the 375 patients, 276 (73.6%) had LAMN and 99 (26.4%) had HAMN. Localized disease was most common (187 patients [49.9%]). Acellular mucin, low-grade mucinous carcinoma peritonei (LGMCP), and high-grade mucinous carcinoma peritonei (HGMCP) were observed in 14.9, 25.3, and 9.9% of patients, respectively. HAMNs were associated with increased PD (69.7% vs 43.1%, P < 0.001) and HGMCP (19.2% vs 6.5%, P < 0.001). Patients with localized disease or acellular mucin experienced almost no recurrences (99.2%). Patients with HAMN trended towards worse 5 year RFS (80.7% vs 90.4%, P = 0.083). OS was similar (91.1% vs LAMN 93.4%, P = 0.23).
conclusionsThis is the largest cohort of patients with HAMN characterized to date. HAMNs are associated with more frequent and higher-grade PD than are LAMNs. The presence and type of PD influence both RFS and OS for patients with AMN. Overall, there is a trend towards decreased RFS in patients with HAMN than with LAMN, but OS was similar.
