Port-site metastasis as a primary complication following diagnostic laparoscopy of fallopian tube carcinoma: A case report.

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
rationaleFallopian tube carcinoma is a rare female genital cancer with no specific clinical and surgical features. It is hardly diagnosed on imaging due to non-specific presentation. Laparoscopy has been recommended as the diagnostic procedure for the assessment of suspicious ovarian and adnexal masses. However, it has brought new complications like tumor recurrences at the trocar insertion sites, called port-site metastasis (PSM). PATIENT CONCERNS: A 65-year-old, postmenopausal woman presented to hospital with loss of appetite, Ultrasound showed ill-defined pelvic mass. The patient was diagnosed with fallopian tube carcinoma by a diagnostic laparoscopy. DIAGNOSES: The PSM as a primary complication following diagnostic laparoscopy of fallopian tube carcinoma, which is presumed by positron emission tomography/computed tomography and confirmed by Nodule resection and further pathological assessment.
interventionsAs port-site metastasis was suspected, the patient was advised to undergo umbilical mass resection. OUTCOMES: the patient has no signs of recurrence was detected 20 months after the last surgery during follow-up. LESSIONS: Laparoscopy plays a significant role in the diagnose and treatment of fallopian tubal and ovarian malignancies but has a risk of PSM occurrence. When isolated PSM occurs the management should be local resection.
