Dermoid Cyst With Adnexal Torsion Presenting as Acute Appendicitis in a Young Premenstrual Patient.
Article in Cureus, 2026. 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
Adnexal masses are relatively frequent in adults but also present in prepubertal females. Mature ovarian teratomas, also called dermoid cysts, are slowly growing disorders that could result in adnexal torsion (AT), rupture, or hemorrhage. In these cases, low abdominal pain or acute abdomen are the commonest symptoms, leading the patient to the medical emergency unit. In adolescence, early diagnosis of this pathology is not uncommon since it can be disclosed in a routine gynecological examination. Unfortunately, in young premenarchal females, routine examination or a screening program for dermoid cysts does not exist. In cases of abdominal pain due to AT, early attendance to the hospital, prompt diagnosis, and timely surgical intervention are of paramount importance, increasing the possibility of minimal surgery and preservation of the ovary. Concomitant inflammation of the neighboring organs, such as the appendix, should also be considered.
