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

introduction and importanceTubo-ovarian abscesses (TOA) is presented with multiple clinical manifestations including gastrointestinal findings. CASE PRESENTATION: Herein, we present a case of complicated diverticulitis that was misdiagnosed as TOA, owing to overlapping genital involvement. CLINICAL DISCUSSION: Imaging could be misleading in these patients as a result of severe inflammation of intestines and surrounding organs.

conclusionPatients who do not respond to antibiotic treatment should be suspected of other gastrointestinal pathologies such as diverticulitis and should be evaluated accordingly.
