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

Introduction: Acquired ovarian torsion is an uncommon gynecologic emergency that afflicts women of reproductive age and requires correction by surgery. A rare complication of asymptomatic ovarian torsion can be necrosis and autoamputation of the adnexal structures. Case Description: A 28-year-old nulliparous woman presented with irregular menses since puberty associated with dysmenorrhea, menorrhagia, and nausea, and that did not improve with trials of oral hormone therapy. Ultrasound and pelvic MRI revealed a large, tubular-cystic mass separated from the right ovary and tubo-ovarian junction. Intraoperative findings revealed filmy adhesions and fimbriae emanating from this cystic lesion, as well as dilation of the medial portion of the right fallopian tube. Histopathology reported dilated, cystic structures with focal tubal-type epithelial lining, and a dilated fallopian tube lumen, consistent with hydrosalpinx. Discussion: Autoamputation of fallopian tube is a rare but serious complication of adnexal torsion that should be treated promptly via intraoperative detorsion.
