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

backgroundOvarian fibroma is the most common benign solid tumor of the ovary, which is often difficult to diagnose preoperatively. The choice treatment for ovarian fibroma is surgical removal, but discussions for the operative approach, laparoscopic or open, in the literature seem to be scant. CASE PRESENTATION: We presented a unique clinical experience of laparoscopic approach to a case of 15 cm unilateral ovarian fibroma in a 24 year old patient, with a successful and complete resection of the tumor beside ovarian tissue preservation in December 2012 in Rasoul-e-Akram hospital, Tehran, Iran.

conclusionIn conclusion, we should not forget the role of laparoscopy as a diagnostic procedure even in suspicious cases of ovarian fibroma with solid tumor, ascites, and pleural effusion.
