A Retrospective Study of the Use of Biochemical Markers to Predict Enterobius vermicularis Infection in Paediatric Patients at the Time of Appendicectomy.

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.

backgroundSymptomatology of acute appendicitis is a common presentation in children, and
methodsThis is a single-centre retrospective cohort study of paediatric patients ≤16 years who presented to Ipswich Hospital with symptomatology of acute appendicitis between January 2019 and January 2024. Five hundred and ninety-three patients were screened against inclusion and exclusion criteria, and 469 patients were available for analysis.
resultsThere were no statistically significant differences in age, biological sex, or Modified Monash Model (MMM) status in the population examined. The study identified neutrophil count (OR 0.901, p = 0.032) and eosinophil count (OR 3.081, p = 0.013) as significant coefficients in predicting
