The Systemic Inflammatory Response Index as a Novel Diagnostic Tool for Acute Appendicitis.
Article in Bulletin of emergency and trauma, 2025. 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
Objective: This study aimed to assess the potential of the Systemic Inflammatory Response Index (SIRI) for diagnosing AA, its possible advantages over current methods, and its utility in distinguishing uncomplicated from complicated appendicitis. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 240 patients scheduled for appendectomy with a diagnosis of AA were enrolled. Demographic information, clinical and paraclinical findings, including complete blood count (CBC), Alvarado score, SIRI, sonography findings, and pathology results, were documented. Data were analyzed using SPSS software version 26. Results: Of the 240 patients, 106 (44.2%) were men, and 134 (55.8%) were women, with a mean age of 37.49±15.55 years. Final pathology reports identified 26 (10.8%) cases of a normal appendix, 176 (73.3%) with uncomplicated appendicitis, 23 (9.6%) with complicated appendicitis, and 15 (6.3%) with reactive lymphoid hyperplasia. SIRI demonstrated significant differences across the pathology groups (P<0.0001). It showed notable discrimination between normal and complicated appendicitis (P=0.005), normal and combined appendicitis (P=0.008), and suggestive differences for normal versus uncomplicated (P=0.021) and uncomplicated versus complicated cases (P=0.044). Similarly, Alvarado scores showed significant differences, particularly between the normal and complicated appendicitis groups. Conclusion: The SIRI and Alvarado scoring systems showed significant potential for diagnosing appendicitis with acceptable sensitivity and specificity. They might also assist in differentiating between uncomplicated and complicated appendicitis.
