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

Synchronous primary neoplasms of the appendix are exceptionally rare. We report a low-grade appendiceal mucinous neoplasm (LAMN) and a well-differentiated neuroendocrine tumor (NET) arising within the same appendix and presenting as pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP). A 44-year-old man undergoing staging for a solitary plasmacytoma of the left acetabulum was incidentally found on computed tomography (CT) to have extensive peritoneal mucinosis. Diagnostic laparoscopy confirmed diffuse PMP, and appendectomy revealed two synchronous appendiceal primaries: a perforated LAMN (pT4a pNX) and a 6 mm, grade 1 NET with lymphovascular invasion (pT3 pNX). After multidisciplinary review, the patient completed radiation therapy for the plasmacytoma and subsequently underwent cytoreductive surgery with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (CRS/HIPEC), achieving complete cytoreduction with 33 lymph nodes negative for malignancy. This case highlights the importance of intraoperative suspicion for an appendiceal origin of PMP, the definitive role of histopathology in identifying synchronous pathologies, and the value of coordinated multidisciplinary care when multiple malignancies coexist.
