Appendiceal band syndrome causing acute small bowel obstruction with concomitant appendicitis: a case report.
Article in Journal of surgical 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
Appendiceal band syndrome is a rare complication of acute appendicitis in which the appendix encircles a segment of small bowel, causing mechanical obstruction. Due to its rarity and nonspecific presentation, diagnosis is often made intraoperatively, and delayed recognition may lead to bowel strangulation. A 23-year-old male presented with acute abdominal pain, vomiting, distension, and obstipation, with no prior surgical history. Computed tomography showed dilated small bowel loops with a distal ileal transition point, an inflamed appendix, and mesenteric twisting. Emergency laparotomy confirmed small bowel obstruction due to an appendiceal band with acute appendicitis. Adhesiolysis and appendectomy were performed, leading to complete resolution. The postoperative course was uneventful. Appendiceal band syndrome should be considered in young patients with obstruction and no prior surgery. Early surgical intervention is essential for favorable outcomes.
