Ovarian endometriosis: risk factor analysis and prediction of malignant transformation.
Article in Przeglad menopauzalny = Menopause review, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
introductionFor the prediction of endometriosis associated ovarian carcinoma (EAOC), the risk factors for malignant ovarian endometriosis (MOE) were explored. MATERIAL AND
methodsA group of 104 EAOC patients was compared with a group of 104 ovarian endometrial cyst patients. Using single and multivariate risk analysis of EAOC by calculating the area under the curve (AUC) of receiver-operator characteristics (ROC) curves, risks of MOE transformation were calculated for various burdens of risk factors.
resultsThe age range of 85 EAOC patients (81.73% of EAOC patients) was from 40 to 60 years old, as menopause occurs most frequently in this age range. From single factor ROC curve analysis, if disease duration/age/menopause/times of pregnancy/multiple foci of endometriosis index AUC were above 0.70, this suggested that the above indicators were predictive of MOE. Times of pregnancy/tumour size/myoma of uterus/multiple foci of endometriosis were taken as the independent risk factors of MOE. Using logistic regression, the AUC of 0.89 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.84-0.94) was statistically significant (
conclusionsTimes of pregnancy/BMI/irregular vaginal bleeding/thyroid disease/myoma of uterus/tumour serious fixation index indicate higher risk of MOE; age/tumour size/menopause/disease duration/ dysmenorrhea/multiple foci of endometriosis suggest lower risk of MOE. Therefore, in patients with endometriosis, malignant transformation could be predicted early.
