Low-Grade Appendiceal Mucinous Neoplasm (LAMN) Presenting Acutely: A Case Report and Concise Review of Surgical Decision-Making.
Article in International medical case reports journal, 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
The optimal surgical management of Low-Grade Appendiceal Mucinous Neoplasm (LAMN) remains nuanced, requiring a balance between recurrence risk and operative morbidity. Although right hemicolectomy is frequently recommended, accumulating evidence suggests that simple appendectomy is adequate in well-defined circumstances. We report the case of a 52-year-old man with common cardiac comorbidities who presented with symptoms resembling acute appendicitis and was found to have a 10 cm LAMN. Given the intraoperative findings an intact appendix, a healthy appendiceal base, and absence of extra-appendiceal mucin simple appendectomy was performed with curative outcome. Using this case as an anchor, we provide a concise and practical synthesis of the key intraoperative and pathological criteria that can assist surgeons in confidently selecting appendectomy over hemicolectomy in appropriately selected patients. Our objective is to offer a clear, actionable framework for surgical decision-making in the management of LAMN.
