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
This study presents a rare case of emergency surgical management via exploratory laparotomy of a large torsed ovarian fibroma in a young female patient. A 17-year-old patient with no history of sexual activity and under chronic antipsychotic medication presented to the emergency department with signs of acute surgical abdomen and fever up to 37.9°C. Laboratory markers of inflammation were elevated. An emergency computed tomography scan revealed a large, solid echogenic pelvic mass of unclear origin. The clinical and laboratory findings, along with the imaging results, led to the decision to perform an emergency exploratory laparotomy. Intraoperatively, a large, solid ovarian mass in torsion, along with the ipsilateral fallopian tube, was identified. A right salpingo-oophorectomy was performed. Histological examination confirmed the diagnosis of a torsed ovarian fibroma. The immediate postoperative course was uneventful, and the patient was discharged on the fourth postoperative day. This article also includes a brief narrative review of the literature regarding ovarian fibromas with torsion, focusing on their rarity, diagnostic challenges, management, and prognosis.
