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

Ovarian torsion in the third trimester of pregnancy is rare and may contribute to maternal and fetal morbidity. The pathogenesis of this condition is not fully understood. Physiological changes in the ovaries during pregnancy usually suppress ovarian function. However, factors such as increased ovarian size and an elongated anatomical pedicle, which are not typical physiological changes of pregnancy, may predispose to torsion. Therefore, ovarian torsion can be more difficult to diagnose during pregnancy. It may be misdiagnosed as other conditions, and the differential diagnosis includes acute appendicitis, ruptured corpus luteum cyst, and urinary obstruction. Here, we report the case of a G2P0 woman at 36 weeks of gestation who presented with lumbar and lower abdominal pain, difficulty urinating, urinary retention, and general weakness. Physical examination, laboratory tests, ultrasonography, and MRI were performed. A diagnosis of acute abdomen was made, and surgical intervention was successfully performed.
