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

objectiveTo quantify the number of follicles in patients with ovarian pathologies, benign and malignant, in pregnant and nonpregnant states and to determine how the presence of ovarian masses and BRCA status affects follicular counts. MATERIALS AND

methodsSlides from 134 reproductive-aged women undergoing oophorectomy were examined using light microscopy by 3 independent counters blinded to the diagnosis. In all, 20 patients had cancer, 69 had benign conditions, and 35 patients were BRCA+ or had a strong family history of breast and/or ovarian cancer. In all, 10 women were either pregnant or immediately postpartum.

resultsPatients undergoing risk-reducing surgery had significantly decreased follicle count compared to physiologic control. Patients with cancer had significantly decreased counts compared to all other groups. There were no differences within the benign cohort.

conclusionsWhen compared to benign masses, the cortex surrounding an ovarian malignancy has decreased follicle density. The stretch impact may minimize any impact on total follicle numbers. Furthermore, there may be a proliferation of ovarian stroma, with the same number of follicles spread over a larger surface area. This information is important when counseling women with ovarian masses regarding the use of ovarian tissue cryopreservation.
