Laparoscopic Appendectomy for Acute Appendicitis With Adnexal Adhesion During the Third Trimester of Pregnancy: A Case Report.
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
Acute appendicitis during pregnancy is associated with maternal/fetal complications. Although laparoscopic appendectomy is widely accepted for managing appendicitis, limited data are available regarding laparoscopy in cases occurring during the third trimester of pregnancy. We present the case of a patient in the third trimester of pregnancy with acute appendicitis and adnexal adhesions who underwent laparoscopic appendectomy. The appendectomy was successful; however, dissection of the adhesions between the inflamed appendix and right adnexa led to prolonged operative and pneumoperitoneum times. The patient was discharged without complications, subsequently delivering a healthy infant at 38 weeks of gestation. This case shows that laparoscopic appendectomy can be performed safely during advanced pregnancy with careful consideration of lower intraperitoneal insufflation pressure, port arrangement, and surgical position. This report contributes to existing research regarding the safety of laparoscopic appendectomy in advanced pregnancy.
