Omental Cyst With Torsion: A Rare Culprit of Pediatric Acute Abdomen.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Acute abdominal pain in pediatric patients poses a diagnostic challenge due to diverse etiologies, ranging from benign to life-threatening conditions. Omental cysts, though rare, constitute a distinctive subset characterized by a fluid-filled sac arising from the greater omentum. We present the case of a three-year-old male who presented with severe abdominal pain localized to the right upper quadrant, progressively worsening over 24 hours. Physical examination revealed tenderness and a palpable mass. Laboratory investigations indicated mild leukocytosis. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography identified an omental cyst with torsion. Intraoperatively, the cyst arising from the greater omentum exhibited torsion, leading to ischemic changes. Surgical excision successfully corrected the torsion and removed the cyst. Omental torsion is a rare complication of omental cysts. Prompt recognition and surgical intervention are crucial, emphasizing the importance of considering diverse etiologies in acute pediatric abdominal pain.
