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

Intrauterine ovarian torsion with autoamputation (IOTA) in fetuses was uncommon. The vague and non-specific symptomatology of IOTA makes early diagnosis challenging. Potential complications, such as hemorrhagic infarction of the adnexal structures with the subsequent sequelae, may occur. Moreover, therapeutic options, such as conservative or surgical management, for IOTA remain uncertain in the literature. We report three cases of IOTA, two of which were complicated by peritoneal adhesion or spontaneous bacterial peritonitis, confirmed surgically and through laboratory studies. A suspected diagnosis of this uncommon condition was made preoperatively in two cases. Our case reports provided additional information about this rare condition, including the occurrence of complicated bacterial peritonitis, in neonates and infants with IOTA. A review of the literature on imaging diagnosis and management options for IOTA is also included.
