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 analyze the clinicopathologic features, recurrence and survival rates, reproductive history, and treatment of patients with mucinous borderline ovarian tumors (mBOTs). MATERIAL AND

methodsPatients with a diagnosis of mBOT were evaluated retrospectively. Patients with borderline ovarian tumors other than mucinous type and concomitant invasive cancer were excluded.

resultsA total of 75 patients were identified. Median age was 38 years. The most common symptom was pain (42.7%). Median CA-125 level was 23.5 IU/mL (range, 1-809 IU/mL). Median tumor size was 200 mm (range, 40-400 mm), and 6.7% of mBOTs were bilateral. Thirty-six (48%) patients underwent staging surgery. Two patients (5.9%) had nodal involvement. One patient received platinum-based adjuvant chemotherapy. One (1.3%) patient had recurrence. None of the patients died because of the ovarian tumor. A total of 43 patients had conservative surgery.

conclusionPrognosis of mBOTs is excellent, and fertility-sparing surgery should be considered in the reproductive age group. Furthermore, the necessity of staging surgery is controversial.
