Clear cell carcinoma of the ovary: multi-slice computed tomography findings.
Article in World journal of surgical oncology, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
backgroundThe aim of the study was to describe the multi-slice computed tomography (MSCT) features of clear cell carcinoma (CCC) of the ovary.
methodsTwenty patients with histology-confirmed CCC of the ovary were retrospectively reviewed. All patients underwent preoperative plain and contrast-enhanced MSCT examinations. Imaging studies were evaluated for the following: (a) location; (b) maximal transverse diameter; (c) shape (round, oval, lobular, or irregular); (d) margin (well defined or ill defined); (e) solid, solid with cystic regions, or cystic; (f) attenuation of the cystic portion; (g) enhancement pattern of the solid portions of the tumor; and (h) the secondary manifestations.
resultsThe mean age of the patients was 63 years (range, 44 to 77 years). Tumors were unilateral in 19 patients and bilateral on 1 patient. The maximal transverse diameter of the tumors was relatively larger with a mean diameter of 105.7 mm (range, 45.5 to 260.6 mm). CCCs demonstrated cystic masses with solid regions in 20 lesions. Most lesions were ovoid (15/21), unilocular (16/21), and well-defined (17/21). The CT value of cystic or necrotic portion ranged from 12 to 28 HU (average, 18 HU) on plain image. The solid protrusions of the cystic masses were both few and round with obviously heterogeneous enhancements after contrast.
conclusionsThe ovarian CCCs typically present as a large, well-defined, unilocular cystic mass with solid protrusion and relatively high attenuated cystic or necrotic portions. The solid protrusions are usually both round and few in number with obviously heterogeneous enhancement.
