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
This article presents a case of spontaneous autoamputation of ovary in a 46-year-old nulligravid woman with a history of rheumatoid arthritis and hypertension, who presented with secondary amenorrhea and white vaginal discharge. Despite an initial diagnosis of dermoid cyst based on ultrasound findings, subsequent laparoscopic surgery revealed a necrotized oval-shaped mass in the cul-de-sac, which was identified as the right ovary that had undergone torsion and autoamputation. This case highlights the diagnostic and therapeutic challenges associated with this uncommon presentation, which may be easily misdiagnosed. Clinicians should consider spontaneous autoamputation of ovary as a potential differential diagnosis in women presenting with adnexal masses, even if there is no prior history of abdominal pain.
