Incidentally Discovered Omental Infarction in a Patient With Right Upper Quadrant Abdominal Pain: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Omental infarction is a rare and often under-recognized cause of acute abdominal pain. Its clinical presentation varies by location and may mimic other intra-abdominal pathologies. Small infarctions, such as the one described in this case, may not be easily detectable on imaging and can be overlooked without surgical exploration. We present the case of a multiparous woman in her mid-30s who presented to the emergency department with acute-on-chronic epigastric pain. She was taken to the operating room for presumed biliary pathology. Intraoperatively, a twisted segment of omentum adherent to the peritoneum was incidentally identified, and the patient underwent omental resection with adhesiolysis. Histopathologic evaluation revealed fat necrosis suggestive of ischemia secondary to prior torsion. This case highlights the occult nature of small omental infarctions and underscores the importance of considering this entity in the differential diagnosis during the workup of acute abdominal pain.
