Colo-Salpingeal Fistula and Secondary Tubo-Ovarian Abscess as Rare Complications of Sigmoid Diverticulitis: 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
Secondary tubo-ovarian abscess (TOA) arising from gastrointestinal pathology is a rare and diagnostically challenging condition. We report the case of a 43-year-old gravida one para one woman with a chronic pelvic abscess refractory to prolonged antibiotic therapy and multiple percutaneous drainage attempts. The patient presented with persistent lower abdominal pain, low-grade fever, and decreased output from a previously placed pelvic drain. Imaging demonstrated a complex left pelvic mass with subsequent concern for rectosigmoid colon involvement. Surgical management consisted of robotic total laparoscopic hysterectomy, bilateral salpingectomy, left salpingo-oophorectomy, extensive lysis of adhesions, and robotic-assisted sigmoid colon resection with primary anastomosis. Final pathology confirmed colonic diverticulitis with a colo-salpingeal fistula and secondary tubo-ovarian abscess. This case highlights the importance of recognizing secondary TOA as a potential complication of diverticular disease and underscores the role of multidisciplinary surgical management when conservative therapy fails.
