1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

abstractAppendectomy is the most common surgical emergency managed by laparoscopic surgeons and is usually a straightforward procedure with minimal morbidity. However, rare complications can arise in the immediate post-operative period. We report a late occurrence of intra-abdominal abscess 2 years after laparoscopic appendectomy probably related to silk suture used to ligate the base of the appendix during index surgery. The patient recovered after laparoscopic drainage of the abscess and retrieval of silk suture.
