Ovarian torsion after hysterectomy and oophoropexy.

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
Ovarian torsion (OT) is a medical emergency which can have significant clinical consequences. It is surgically treated by either detorsion with or without oophoropexy, or oophorectomy. In this report, a case of left OT is described after prior hysterectomy and bilateral prophylactic oophoropexy three years prior. The patient presented with progressive left flank and abdominal pain. The diagnosis of torsion was made using a combination of CT and MR imaging with confirmation at surgery and pathology. At laparoscopic surgery, the left ovary was found at the level of iliac crest posterior to the descending colon. The ovary was torsed with hemorrhagic infarction. It was successfully removed. The patient was discharged postoperative day one and is now free of symptoms and complaints. OT is rarely reported after hysterectomy and oophoropexy. This case demonstrates that OT should be kept in the differential even in patients post hysterectomy and/or oophoropexy.
