Incidentally Detected Low-Grade Appendiceal Mucinous Neoplasm Following Laparoscopic Appendectomy for Acute Appendicitis.
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 are rare entities that account for a small proportion of all gastrointestinal malignancies and are most often discovered incidentally on histopathological examination of appendectomy specimens. We present the case of a 36-year-old woman who presented to the emergency department with acute right lower quadrant abdominal pain and was found to have acute appendicitis on computed tomography imaging. She underwent an uncomplicated laparoscopic appendectomy, and final pathology revealed a low-grade appendiceal mucinous neoplasm (LAMN) confined to the appendix, staged as pTis(LAMN). Postoperative colonoscopy was performed to evaluate the appendiceal orifice and exclude synchronous colorectal lesions. This case highlights the importance of routine histopathological examination of all appendectomy specimens and the need for appropriate postoperative surveillance in patients with incidentally discovered appendiceal mucinous neoplasms.
