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
introductionOvaries are one of the most common locations of tumor masses in children. Some of them require surgery due to the risk of malignancy or necrosis. This organ seems to be ideal for the laparoscopic approach.
aimTo evaluate the usefulness of laparoscopy in surgery of lesions located in the ovaries in patients under 18 years of age and assess the risk of changes in the ovaries in girls with acute abdominal symptoms. MATERIAL AND
methodsRetrospective evaluation of hospital records of the period 1996-2012 from a single hospital was performed. 105 laparoscopic procedures of ovarian pathology in patients aged 0-18 (mean: 13.5) years were reviewed. The overall sample was divided into groups depending on the indication and mode of surgery. Group I: elective or emergency surgery, imaging findings of ovarian cysts bigger than 5 cm or causing pain. Group II: elective surgery, the ovarian tumor visible in imaging (solid mass or mixed). Group III: treatment for acute abdomen, without visible ovarian pathology in the preoperative imaging studies. Group IV: elective treatment of other indications, incidental finding.
resultsThere were no deaths or major complications. There were no conversions. Average length of hospital stay after surgery was 2.5 days. The risk of appendicitis in patients referred for surgery due to ovarian cysts visualized in ultrasound, in the factual absence of ovarian pathology (false positive ultrasound), in the presented material was 5.2%. The risk of lesions in the ovaries in patients operated on due to acute abdominal pain, with no findings in the pre-operative ultrasound (false negative ultrasound), in the presented material was 7.4%. The risk of coexistence of changes in the ovaries with appendicitis found during the procedure due to acute abdominal pain in the study group was 6%.
conclusionsThe laparoscopic treatment for ovarian masses is safe and efficient. The risk of wrong preoperative diagnosis (ovary mass vs. appendicitis) is in any direction between 5 and 8%, which is a number large enough to be taken into consideration when surgical training and legislation is concerned.
