Laparoscopic surgical staging of early ovarian cancer.
Article in Reviews in obstetrics & gynecology, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT02218502 (Regional Study Into the Performance and Cost-effectiveness of Simple Ultrasound-based Rules Compared to the Currently Used Risk of Malignancy Index in the Diagnosis of Ovarian Cancer), which is not on this map. Cited by 14 papers, 3 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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.

Abstract
Since its advent in the early 1990s, laparoscopic surgical staging for early ovarian cancer has been explored as an option with the potential to offer women equivalent cancer control and survival as provided by laparotomy but with the clear benefits of minimally invasive surgery. A limited but expanding body of literature suggests aggressive surgical staging can be performed with equivalent tissue assessment compared with laparotomy. Given the lack of randomized, controlled trials, the risks and benefits of such a procedure remain ambiguous. This review summarizes the current body of literature regarding the role of laparoscopy in upfront surgical staging of ovarian cancer. This review presents the history, rationale, and established benefits and risks of utilizing this approach in women who present with malignancy that appears confined to the ovary. Although retrospective data confirm the feasibility, safety, and efficacy of laparoscopic staging of early ovarian cancer, more prospective data will be required to confirm equivalent survival in a patient population that has the potential to be cured.
