Real time ultrasound diagnosis of ovarian and pelvic filariasis by filarial dance sign.

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
Parasitic infestations of the ovary are quite rare with ovary being the least common site of infection in the female genital tract. Filariasis is a parasitic disease caused by filarial nematodes (Wuchereria bancrofti, Brugia malayai, Brugia timori). It causes lymphatic obstruction with resultant edema and increase in the size of the affected organ. We report a case of 24-year-old married female who presented to our radiology department for ultrasound evaluation with the main aim being to look for retained products of conception after the termination of early pregnancy. However on ultrasound examination ovarian filariasis was an incidental diagnosis with the classical twirling movement (filarial dance sign) seen in one of the follicles of the ovary. Ultrasound is the imaging modality of choice for detecting the adult filarial worm/microfilaria in the lymphatic system. Ovarian filariasis is a very rare diagnosis with only a handful of cases being reported in literature with most cases being diagnosed incidentally on histopathological examination of the post operative specimen.
