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

An autoamputated ovary (AO) is an extremely rare circumstance with a few reports in the literature. We present a case of a 3-month-old girl with a history of vague abdominal symptoms as well as a known ovarian mass, which was initially suspected to be benign and regressing. On laparoscopy for pain and obstructive symptoms, she was found to have an AO. The pathology was consistent with necrotic and torsed ovarian tissue with superimposed infection and possibly a cystic non-malignant teratoma. AOs are thought to originate from a torsion and are typically diagnosed incidentally. This is an interesting case of an AO causing a partial small bowel obstruction.
