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

Background: Omental infarction in pregnancy (OIP) is rare. Its symptoms, clinical signs, and imaging features are frequently non-specific, posing tremendous diagnostic challenges that are easy to overlook and may lead to severe implications. Improving doctors' understanding of omental infarction facilitates early detection and decreases the likelihood of severe consequences, including death. Case summary: We report a case of OIP presenting with right lower abdominal pain that was misdiagnosed as acute appendicitis. The patient underwent a laparoscopic omentectomy and appendectomy. This case aims to help clinicians better understand OIP and reduce the severe consequences of delayed diagnosis. Through timely surgical exploration, physicians can achieve early identification of OIP and initiate surgical intervention, thereby decreasing the devastating repercussions of a delayed diagnosis. Conclusion: This article aims to improve clinicians' understanding of OIP and propose a method for the diagnosis and treatment of OIP, while underscoring the value of diagnostic laparoscopy in establishing a definitive diagnosis when non-invasive modalities are inconclusive.
