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

Dermoid ovarian cysts, or mature cystic teratomas, are common benign ovarian masses. Surgical intervention for symptomatic cysts includes minimally invasive or open cystectomy. The consequences of intra-abdominal spillage during cystectomy can be significant and include acute chemical peritonitis or chronic granulomatous inflammatory reactions. This is the first reported case of peritonectomy for disseminated dermoid disease. This case report discusses a previously healthy 20-year-old patient who developed both these complications following elective laparoscopic ovarian cystectomy for dermoid ovarian cysts. She required multiple admissions and a multi-disciplinary approach to develop a treatment plan, culminating in peritonectomy. This case necessitated significant multi-disciplinary discussion to address complex treatment decisions regarding anti-microbial and surgical management. This is the first reported case of peritonectomy for source control of chronic sepsis and granulomatous peritonitis following disseminated dermoid disease, highlighting the importance of timely intervention and thorough peritoneal wash-out to mitigate late inflammatory complications.
