Pyometrocolpos in an 18-Month-Old Child: A Rare Cause of Acute Abdomen.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Acute abdomen secondary to pyometrocolpos as a result of microperforate hymen in an 18-month-old child is extremely rare to witness. Such a child was admitted with a history of poor appetite, lethargy, high-grade febrile episodes, frequent urination, and multiple episodes of vomiting in seven days. There was no relief of symptoms on oral antibiotics. On careful examination, the abdomen was distended. A suprapubic bulge with mild tenderness was palpable. Genital examination revealed the absence of vaginal introitus with a bulging membrane. Ultrasound showed the presence of echogenic contents within the dilated uterine and vaginal cavities. An emergency hymenotomy drained 150 cc of malodorous purulent material. Symptoms were relieved post-surgery. This, to our knowledge, being the youngest case of microperforate hymen presenting with acute abdomen makes it worth reporting.
