A Case of Twisted Ovarian Dermoid Cyst During Pregnancy.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
Ovarian cysts are common during pregnancy as an outcome of routine prenatal ultrasounds. Although most cases are benign, complications, such as torsion, rupture, and malignant changes, can occur. Torsion risk increases fivefold during pregnancy. It is extremely hazardous to expectant mothers and unborn children. In a rural health tertiary center, we report the case of a 23-year-old primigravida with 14 weeks of pregnancy presented with acute abdomen and nausea, vomiting for four hours. On ultrasonography, she was diagnosed with a 14 cm × 11 cm left dermoid cyst. She underwent a laprotomy, and a twisted dermoid cyst was found; therefore, a left oophorectomy was performed with consent. Histopathological examination revealed the presence of a dermoid cyst. She is regularly followed up at our center with a healthy intrauterine fetus growing within. Although antepartum surgical intervention has been proven safe, there are some risks associated with abdominal surgery for both pregnant women and their unborn children. As a result, the management strategy must be chosen based on a risk-benefit analysis of adnexal mass characterization and gestational age.
