Endosalpingiosis in conjunction with ovarian serous cystadenoma mimicking metastatic ovarian malignancy.

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
patientFemale, 26. FINAL DIAGNOSIS: Endosalpingiosis. SYMPTOMS: Chronic pelvic pain. MEDICATION: -. CLINICAL PROCEDURE: Diagnostic laproscopy (conservative management). SPECIALTY: Obstetrics and Gynecology.
objectiveChallenging differential diagnosis.
backgroundInteresting and unusual case of endosalpingiosis mimicking ovarian malignancy presentation. CASE REPORT: A 26-year-old G0P0 white female presented to our office with chronic pelvic pain. On vaginal examination, a nontender mass in left the adnexal region was palpable. Transvaginal ultrasound showed a left ovarian cyst. Laparoscopy was performed, which revealed diffuse bilateral ovarian excrescences with unusual multiple studdings throughout the peritoneum and abdominal cavity. Due to a suspicion of malignancy, a biopsy specimen was obtained for frozen sectioning. The specimen proved to be consistent with benign papillary serous cystadenofibroma. Gross appearance was still suspicious for malignancy and therefore left paraovarian cystectomy was performed. Additional specimens showed ovarian adenofibroma and endosalpingiosis. The patient's complaint of pelvic pain improved after laparoscopy. Due to diffuse presentation of endosalpingiosis in the peritoneum, serial CT scan of abdomen and pelvis at 6-month intervals was recommended.
conclusionsTo our knowledge, this is an unusual case of a young, nulliparous female presenting with diffuse-presentation endosalpingiosis in the abdomen and peritoneum, which on gross examination was suspicious for malignancy. By following a conservative approach and performing serial CT scans, the patient will be clinically monitored.
