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

backgroundMRI provides adequate ovarian imaging to permit accurate measurement. More normative data for children and adolescents is needed as MRI is being used for evaluation of right lower quadrant pain that could be due to ovarian torsion.

objectiveTo determine normative data for ovarian size by MRI using a rapid protocol for right lower quadrant pain. MATERIALS AND

methodsRetrospective evaluation of MRI examinations of girls obtained between 2013 and 2019 was performed including chart and image review. Normative data was determined by age.

resultsMean patient age was 12.8 years (range 1-18 years). Six hundred forty-four scans were included in the study. Thirty-three ovaries contained cysts measuring greater than 3 cm and 8 additional ovaries were torsed. These ovaries were not included in the normal ovary measurements. Patients with known or suspected polycystic ovarian syndrome or torsion also were excluded. Ovarian volumes of normal-appearing ovaries are reported by patient age.

conclusionNormative data for girls and adolescents utilizing a rapid MRI protocol for right lower quadrant pain is provided for increased confidence in assessing ovarian size in girls on MRI.
