Epidemiological profile and risk factors of acute appendicitis in India.
Article in Bioinformation, 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 is the most common surgical emergency worldwide, with different epidemiological patterns determined by demographic and lifestyle factors. Therefore, it is of interest to establish the epidemiological profile and associated risk factors for acute appendicitis in a tertiary care hospital setting. A prospective observational study was carried out on clinically and radiologically verified cases, with demographic, clinical, laboratory and surgical characteristics examined using acceptable statistical methods. Among 450 patients, the majorities were young males and higher body mass index and smoking were significantly associated with complicated appendicitis (p < 0.05). Thus, we show the epidemiological profile and associated risk factors for acute appendicitis. The significant role of higher body mass index and smoking in complicating the condition for early identification and management strategies is reported.
