Pyosalpinx-Induced Pelvic Sepsis Prompting Bilateral Salpingo-Oophorectomy and Laparoscopic Hysterectomy in a Premenopausal Woman.
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
Pyosalpinx is a rare infection of the fallopian tube characterized by pus accumulation and inflammation, which can progress to severe sepsis if not promptly treated. We describe a 54-year-old premenopausal woman who presented with fever, localized abdominal pain, and laboratory findings consistent with sepsis. Diagnostic imaging revealed a complex adnexal mass concerning for a tubo-ovarian abscess. Despite empiric broad-spectrum antibiotic therapy, the infection persisted, prompting a robotic-assisted total laparoscopic hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy for definitive source control. Surgical pathology confirmed pyosalpinx with abscess formation. The presence of clue cells and the absence of sexually transmitted pathogens suggested bacterial vaginosis as the likely infectious source. This case emphasizes that upper genital tract infections can occur in women without traditional risk factors and that altered vaginal flora may play a significant role in their development. Prompt diagnosis, empiric antibiotic coverage, and timely surgical intervention remain crucial to prevent complications and ensure favorable outcomes.
