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

Objective: To identify clinical, laboratory, radiologic, and operative factors associated with intraoperative complications during surgical management of tubo-ovarian abscess (TOA), and to describe evolving surgical trends over a 10-year period. Methods: This retrospective cohort study included 177 women who underwent operative treatment for TOA between January 2015 and June 2025 at a tertiary referral center. Demographic variables, laboratory parameters, radiologic findings, operative details, and postoperative outcomes were extracted from institutional records. Patients were grouped as uncomplicated or complicated according to the presence of bowel, bladder, or ureteral injury. Groups were compared using appropriate statistical tests. Results: Of 177 patients, 9 (5.1%) experienced intraoperative organ injury. Complicated cases were significantly older (49 vs 42 years, Conclusion: Older age, elevated inflammatory markers, and altered platelet indices may help identify patients at increased risk of operative difficulty. The growing use of laparoscopy supports its role as a feasible and increasingly preferred surgical approach in the management of TOA.
