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

Adnexal torsion during pregnancy is rare and is complicated by ambiguous symptoms and often nonspecific imaging findings. Differential diagnoses of torsion include a ruptured ovarian cyst, tubo-ovarian abscess, and appendicitis. A low threshold for the recommended surgical laparoscopy is necessary to avoid delayed diagnosis and fetal or maternal complications. We present a case of a 30-year-old woman at 10 weeks gestation as a surrogate carrier, admitted for progressive, sharp lower right quadrant abdominal pain. On presentation, she was afebrile and vitally stable, with moderate leukocytosis and elevated inflammatory markers. Transvaginal ultrasound showed a 6 x 6 cm adnexal mass/cyst, without ovarian vascular compromise, in addition to a tubular structure indicating possible hydrosalpinx. Initially, her presenting symptoms partially
