The Varied Presentation of Appendiceal Mucinous Neoplasms: A Rural Case Series.
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
Appendiceal mucinous neoplasms (AMNs) are a rare and heterogeneous disease. Failure to promptly recognize AMNs can lead to rupture, peritoneal seeding, and pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP). We present five cases in rural Australia in whom AMN was suspected or identified preoperatively, intraoperatively, or via histopathology. Three of our cases were males, with an age range of 47-89 years. Intraoperative findings varied from dilated appendices with mucinous content, large well-circumscribed masses, to perforated tumors with peritoneal dissemination and PMP. Surgical interventions included laparoscopic appendicectomies, open appendicectomy via Lanz incision or midline laparotomy, and a diagnostic laparotomy for biopsy of a perforated tumor. One patient required cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy, and another received palliative chemotherapy. In conclusion, familiarity with AMN treatment is pertinent to their rising incidence - we are the first to explore strategies for management of this rare but important condition in rural Australia.
