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

Paratubal cyst torsion accompanied by secondary isolated fallopian tube torsion without involvement of the ipsilateral ovary is rare. A similar case occurring in the postpartum period has not been reported to date in the English literature. Our case report concerns a pregnant multiparous woman in the 40th gestational week, without regular antenatal care attendance, who was urgently admitted to the maternity ward with pushing labour pains and gave birth with vaginal delivery. A few hours later, puerperant complained of worsening severe lower abdominal pain, accompanied by nausea, dizziness and vomiting, unresponsive to analgesic medication. Based on the clinical and ultrasound findings, the diagnosis of an ovarian cyst torsion was established, and it was decided to treat the patient with surgery and in particular with laparotomy. Intraoperatively, in the left parametrium, the presence of an ovoid mass with a brownish-red hue and a smooth outer surface was detected, along which the ipsilateral fallopian tube ran, without the involvement of the ovary. Histological examination of the surgical specimen confirmed the diagnosis of isolated fallopian tubal torsion with paratubal cyst. The postoperative course was uneventful. In this paper, based on modern data, a brief literature review of this rare nosological entity is attempted, regarding the diagnostic and therapeutic approach, the immediate application of which can ensure the best prognosis.
