Pseudomyxoma Peritonei Presenting With Progressive Abdominal Distension and Abdominal Hernia: A Case Report.

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
Pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP) is a rare clinical condition characterized by progressive mucinous ascites, most commonly arising from a low-grade appendiceal mucinous neoplasm (LAMN). We report the case of a 53-year-old man with a past medical history of type 2 diabetes mellitus who presented with progressive abdominal distension, constipation, weight loss, and a supraumbilical hernia. Imaging modalities, including ultrasonography, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and computed tomography (CT), revealed omental caking, ascites, and hepatic scalloping. Diagnostic laparoscopy revealed mucinous nodules and an abnormal appendiceal tip, and histopathology confirmed LAMN with PMP. The patient had an uneventful recovery following laparoscopic appendectomy and peritoneal biopsies and was referred to a specialized oncology center for consideration of cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC). This case highlights the diagnostic challenges of PMP and underscores the importance of early detection and multidisciplinary management to achieve optimal outcomes.
