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

backgroundLow-grade appendiceal mucinous neoplasms are papillary or flat mucinous tumors with low-grade cytologic atypia. They are the most frequent source of pseudomyxoma peritonei. They can be easily misdiagnosed, due to unspecific symptoms, with acute appendicitis, retroperitoneal tumors or adnexal mass. Cases of huge appendiceal mucinous neoplasms are even more extremely rare. CASE SUMMARY: We report a 54-year-old patient who presented with a 10-month history of constant dull distension accompanied by nausea. A surgical procedure of total hysterectomy, bilateral adnexectomy, appendectomy, greater omentectomy and right hemicolectomy was performed as a result of the findings on ultrasound, computed tomography scan and magnetic resonance imaging. Diagnosis was made after the pathological examination, which revealed low-grade appendiceal mucinous neoplasm. The patient received hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy with cisplatin and was discharged from the hospital.

conclusionLow-grade appendiceal mucinous adenomas are rare tumors that are easily misdiagnosed, and a more thorough clinical workup is required to make a definitive diagnosis.
