Association between ovarian cancer and advanced endometriosis.
Article in Oncology letters, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
We retrospectively analyzed clinicopathological data in two different countries over the past years on the association between ovarian endometriosis and ovarian carcinoma. Medical and pathological reports were evaluated from 1,000 patients with endometriosis from two different geographical areas. The prevalence and women characteristics of cases were analyzed. Endometriosis-associated ovarian cancer was present in 20 (2%) cases, among the study subjects. The observed prevalence was 12 (60%) for endometrioid carcinoma, 4 (20%) for clear cell ovarian carcinoma, 2 (10%) for serous and 2 (10%) for mucinous adenocarcinoma. A higher proportion of endometrioid carcinoma cases were noted in comparison with other types (P<0.001). We found only 3/20 (15%) postmenopausal cases. In all cases, we reported advanced stage of endometriosis (stage III or IV). Left-sided endometrioid carcinoma were notably more common than right-sided ones (P<0.001). In the majority of cases, malignant transformation of endometriosis was observed in endometrioid carcinoma or clear cell carcinoma of the ovary. Further research is required to establish the relationship between endometriosis and ovarian cancer.
