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

Background: Ovarian vein thrombosis (OVT) is an uncommon condition, occurring in ~1 in every 600-2,000 pregnancies. It is associated with various conditions, including thrombophilia, malignancy, sepsis, intra-abdominal and pelvic inflammatory conditions, pregnancy, and the postpartum period, and specific surgical interventions, particularly gynecological surgeries. Thus, this study aims to identify the associated factors for OVT and elaborate on the standard treatment strategies for its management. Methods: Retrospective data collection was used. Our study consists of 18 patients diagnosed with OVT between 2005 and 2016; the data was collected from the Health Information Management system at King Fahad Medical City, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia using a standard format. Results: Our study found that OVT involves the right ovarian vein more often than the left and mainly occurs in women during their postpartum period. These patients other associated factor included hypertension, diabetes, and a higher body mass index (BMI) of above 25 kg/m Conclusions: Physicians should be vigilant for suspicion of OVT in female patients presenting with lower abdominal pain and fever in their postpartum period. Additionally, it is suggested to use low molecular weight heparin as initial therapy for OVT for one to three months, resulting in a high remission rate.
