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

Borderline ovarian tumors are rare low malignant potential neoplasms characterized by the absence of stromal invasion, whose main prognostic factors are stage and type of peritoneal implants. The latter are defined as invasive when cell proliferation invades the underlying tissue (peritoneal surface, omentum and intestinal wall), or noninvasive. It is still unknown if these implants are metastatic spread from the primary ovarian mass or a neoplastic transformation de novo of the peritoneal surface. Mitochondrial DNA sequencing was performed to assess clonality in eight patients presenting both borderline ovarian tumors and implants. In 37.5% of the cases, the same mitochondrial DNA mutation was present in both borderline ovarian tumors and the peritoneal implant, being this evidence that implants may arise as a consequence of a spread from a single ovarian site.
