A Twist in the Tale: Rare Diagnosis of Lipomatosis of the Appendix.
Article in Case reports in surgery, 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
A 66-year-old white male with a history of diverticulosis and prediabetes presented with right lower quadrant (RLQ) abdominal pain lasting 1 month. On physical examination, the abdomen was soft without tenderness or palpable masses. CT imaging showed an enlarged appendix with a diameter of 1 cm with no surrounding inflammation. A laparoscopic appendectomy was performed, and the patient's symptoms resolved within 3 weeks. Histopathology revealed lipomatosis of the appendix, an extraordinarily rare diagnosis which has only been reported five times prior to our case. This case study aims to increase available information on this disease to aid future diagnosis and treatment.
