Pelvic inflammatory disease presenting 16 months after vaginal hysterectomy: A case report and literature review.

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
Pelvic inflammatory disease after hysterectomy is rare and the underlying route of infection is highly heterogeneous. We report the case of a 52-year-old woman with a history of vaginal hysterectomy for uterine prolapse admitted to the emergency department with acute abdominal pain and fever. Vaginal discharge and pelvic tenderness were evident in the clinical examination. Ultrasound and computed tomography scans showed a cystic pelvic mass in contact with the vaginal cuff, suggesting the diagnosis of pelvic inflammatory disease. Laparoscopic examination revealed a bilateral tubo-ovarian abscess firmly attached and fistulized to the vaginal cuff, and after tubal removal and antibiotic coverage the patient had an optimal recovery. We performed a review of the case reports published on this subject, and concluded that pelvic inflammatory disease should not be excluded in patients with a history of hysterectomy when symptoms and findings are compatible.
