Hemorrhagic necrosis of omental cysts misdiagnosed as torsion of ovarian cysts: a case report and literature review.
Review in BMC women's health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.
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
backgroundOmental cysts are extremely rare intra-abdominal lesions that are typically benign and asymptomatic. When hemorrhagic necrosis occurs, it may mimic other acute abdominal emergencies, such as adnexal torsion. Omental cysts are easily misdiagnosed as other diseases because of their lack of specific clinical symptoms and signs, thus posing a diagnostic challenge. CASE
introductionWe report a 32-year-old woman presenting with acute lower abdominal pain and fever, initially diagnosed with ovarian cyst torsion. Imaging revealed a large pelvic cystic mass; however, laparoscopic exploration identified a hemorrhagic omental cyst with necrosis and inflammatory adhesion. Complete excision was performed, and histopathology confirmed a benign omental cyst with hemorrhage and necrosis. The patient recovered uneventfully and showed no recurrence over 11 months of follow-up.
conclusionAnalyzing this case allowed us to delve into the causes of misdiagnosis of omental cysts. This case emphasizes the diagnostic difficulty posed by complicated omental cysts and highlights the necessity of considering omental cyst in women presenting with acute abdomen and pelvic masses. Imaging aids diagnosis, but surgical exploration is the most direct and reliable method for confirming the cause of abdominal pain. Timely laparoscopic intervention facilitates accurate diagnosis and effective management.
