Torsion of Appendiceal Mucinous Neoplasm: A Rare Cause of Right Lower Quadrant Abdominal Pain.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Appendiceal mucinous neoplasms are rare, and torsion of the appendix is exceptionally uncommon. Rupture of an appendiceal mucinous neoplasm can lead to pseudomyxoma peritonei, a condition with high morbidity. We present the case of a 64-year-old male patient with five days of right lower quadrant abdominal pain. Cross-sectional imaging of the abdomen and pelvis revealed a five-centimeter-long, tubular, ring-enhancing lesion, concerning for a mucocele. Intraoperatively, a 360-degree appendiceal torsion was identified, prompting conversion from laparoscopy to laparotomy to avoid mucocele rupture. Pathology confirmed a low-grade appendiceal mucinous neoplasm with negative margins. The patient recovered uneventfully and remained asymptomatic at follow-up. This case underscores the deceptive presentation of a torsed appendiceal mucocele and highlights important technical considerations for optimal operative management of this pathology.
