Unusual presentation of bilateral pyosalpinx mimicking an ovarian torsion: A case report.
Article in Annals of medicine and surgery (2012), 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
introductionA pyosalpinx is the acute inflammation of the Fallopian tube fills up and swells with pus, which commonly results from inadequate or delayed treatment of pelvic inflammatory disease. Herein we report a case of bilateral pyosalpinx mimicking an ovarian torsion. PRESENTATION OF CASE: We reported the case of a 27-year-old female patient, who presented to the emergency department with complaints of constant, worsening lower abdominal pain for 2-3 days. Pelvic and transvaginal ultrasound examinations were performed which demonstrated a large, complex cystic structure in the right adnexa with peripheral flow on color Doppler imaging. The possibilities included ovarian torsion or hemorrhagic cyst. Intraoperative findings showed bilateral pyosalpinx and treated successfully by laparoscopic bilateral salpingostomy.
conclusionThe present case highlights the diagnostic dilemma of bilateral pyosalpinx must be taken into account in the differential diagnosis of ovarian torsion or tumor, particularly in women of reproductive age.
