Appendectomy for Chronic Abdominal Pain Caused by Appendiceal Neuroma.

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
This case reports a 35-year-old man with recurrent right lower quadrant (RLQ) pain initially suggestive of acute appendicitis who was diagnosed with functional abdominal pain syndrome after negative imaging and colonoscopy. Because of persistent pain, he underwent a diagnostic laparoscopy and appendectomy, where an appendiceal neuroma was diagnosed; this led to complete symptom resolution. This case highlights the importance of considering appendiceal neuroma in the differential for unexplained appendicitis-like RLQ pain, particularly when standard workups are inconclusive. The resolution of symptoms postsurgery suggests that exploratory surgery should be considered in patients with severe and persistent RLQ pain, even with negative imaging.
