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

A female in her late 20s presented to the emergency department with 1 day of right lower quadrant pain, nausea and emesis. Imaging demonstrated an exophytic right ovarian cyst in addition to small bowel in the pelvis with faecalisation and fat stranding. The patient was taken emergently to the operating room for a joint procedure with the gynaecology team, consisting of a diagnostic laparoscopy and cystectomy. In the operating room, she was found to have small bowel incarcerated within a defect in the pouch of Douglas. This is a rare case in which a small bowel obstruction was caused by an internal hernia within the pouch of Douglas.
