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

Tubo-ovarian abscess (TOA) is a late complication of pelvic inflammatory disease. Its diagnosis is difficult because it is occasionally accompanied by atypical symptoms such as abdominal pain and fever. A 45-year-old married woman presented with recurrent abdominal pain and fever. Her medical history included ovarian surgery 14 years prior to presentation. Computed tomography (CT) performed by her local doctor confirmed uterine fibroids and a left ovarian tumor. Following a detailed examination and magnetic resonance imaging at our hospital, a TOA was suspected, and surgery was planned. During surgery, the adhesion was firm and required laparotomy. Ultimately, the left ovarian tumor was confirmed to be a TOA. Although complete surgical resection was not feasible. A surgical drain was inserted, and the pus was drained. Cultures revealed
