Ruptured Appendicitis Leading to Development of a Tubo-Ovarian Abscess in a Non-sexually Active Adolescent Patient.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Tubo-ovarian abscesses (TOA) are commonly associated with pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) caused by sexually transmitted infections (STI). There have been several reports of adolescent non-sexually active female patients diagnosed with TOAs. Symptoms of TOAs often mimic appendicitis and have often been diagnosed as such. We present a case of a 12-year-old non-sexually active adolescent who was initially diagnosed with ruptured appendicitis and found to have a TOA engulfing the appendix.
