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

Ovarian torsion is one of the common abdominal and gynecologic surgical emergencies with serious morbidity in the form of ovarian infarct or necrosis. Various imaging modalities like USG, CT, and MRI have been used in the evaluation of ovarian torsion. Two middle-aged females presented with lower abdominal pain. Imaging showed an ovarian cystic lesion in the first patient and thickened and twisted ovarian pedicle or 'helical swirling' sign in the second. Intraoperatively, the first case turned out to be a 180* twist with mild ovarian edema and the second showed more than 720* torsion with ovarian infarction. The CT findings of twisted pedicle with pericystic fat stranding might be predictive of hemorrhagic infarction in cases of torsion.
