Negative Appendectomy Rates and Their Correlation With the Use of Histopathology: A Clinical Audit.
Article in Cureus, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Objectives To analyze the rate of negative appendectomies in a tertiary care hospital through assessment of the clinical diagnostic skills of surgical residents while keeping the histopathology report as the gold standard. Methodology This clinical audit was conducted at the Surgical 'C' Unit of Khyber Teaching Hospital in Peshawar. The study spanned a six-month period (1st of July 2024 to 31st of December 2024). A sample size of 100 patients (both genders) was selected through a non-probability consecutive sampling technique. All patients with a histopathological report of a normal appendix (peri-appendicitis) and appendicitis were identified and included. All the data collected through the fulfillment of proformas were added to a Microsoft Excel
