Ovarian Torsion Secondary to a Dermoid Cyst in a Child: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
A four-year-old girl presented with a two-day history of progressively worsening right lower abdominal pain, accompanied by anorexia and nausea. The initial assessment revealed lower abdominal tenderness with guarding and rebound tenderness, raising concern for an acute surgical abdomen. Ultrasonography demonstrated mild ascites and an enlarged left ovary with absent Doppler flow, suggestive of torsion. Emergent laparoscopic exploration revealed a 6×7 cm necrotic left adnexal mass with complete torsion of the ovary and fallopian tube. Detorsion was attempted, but the ovary remained nonviable, necessitating a left salpingo-oophorectomy. Gross examination revealed hair within the mass, and histopathology confirmed an infarcted ovarian dermoid cyst. The child had an uneventful recovery and was well at both the one- and three-month follow-ups. This case underscores the importance of the early recognition and prompt surgical management of pediatric ovarian torsion to prevent irreversible adnexal damage and preserve future fertility whenever possible.
