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 is defined as the twisting of the ovary at its pedicle, which can result in significant vascular and lymphatic compromise. This condition is a rare gynecological emergency, warranting prompt recognition and diagnosis. This report describes an 11-year-old girl who presented with a two-day history of left iliac fossa pain and associated vomiting. Ultrasound revealed a 3-cm simple ovarian cyst on the left ovary, with preserved blood flow but evidence of ovarian edema, raising suspicion for ovarian torsion. The patient underwent a diagnostic laparoscopy, which confirmed left ovarian torsion, and a detorsion was performed. Nine weeks later, the patient re-presented with similar symptoms, and intraoperative findings again confirmed left ovarian torsion. At this presentation, left ovarian detorsion and cystectomy were performed. This case underscores the diagnostic challenges posed by the nonspecific presentation of ovarian torsion and highlights the importance of investigating predisposing factors in recurrent cases.
