Appendiceal tie syndrome causing small bowel obstruction in 30 year old woman.
Article in Radiology case reports, 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
Appendicitis is a common cause of acute abdominal emergencies, but mechanical small bowel obstruction due to appendicealtie syndrome is rare. We present a 30-year-old healthy female patient with a typical presentation of febrile intestinal obstruction with multiple central air-fluid levels on an erect abdominal X-ray. During laparotomy, a phlegmonous appendix was found encircling and strangulating the terminal ileum with no signs of bowel ischemia. A simple appendectomy was performed, relieving the obstruction. Postoperative recovery was uneventful aside from a superficial wound infection. Appendiceal tie syndrome is a rare entity that can present as febrile small bowel obstruction in patients of any age group. The diagnostic value of advanced imaging remains uncertain and clinical suspicion is of paramount importance. Timely surgical intervention leads to improved outcomes. Simple appendectomy may result in resolution of obstruction and clinical symptoms if affected bowel segments are viable despite delayed presentation.
