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

Omental torsion is rarely diagnosed preoperatively and often misdiagnosed with other pathologies as acute abdomen, the most common of them being acute appendicitis. The current choice for the management of omental torsion is laparoscopic surgery. We present a case of a 35-year-old male with 48 h of acute abdominal pain mainly located in the epigastrium but then progressively migrated to the right iliac fossa. Abdominal CT showed mild thickening of the appendix. It also shows that the greater omentum locally hyperdense fat. The patient was brought to the operating room for diagnostic laparoscopy, revealing a primary right omental torsion. The patient was discharged 48 h later with no complications.
