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

We reviewed current literature regarding the association of endometriosis and epithelial ovarian cancer based on epidemiology studies, molecular researches and clinical observations. Our methods include a review of literature research of MEDLINE, PubMed, Cochrane Library of Systematic Reviews and reference search in selected papers. The life time risk of epithelial ovarian cancer in women with endometriosis is low, yet there might be a cluster of individuals who have higher risk of developing epithelial ovarian cancer from endometriosis. Endometriosis associated ovarian cancer (EAOC) is predominant in particular histological subtypes of epithelial ovarian carcinoma and are related to some specific molecular aberrations. Clinical observations showed age as an important variable to the development of EAOC. Rapid growth of tumor and solid components in sonography are key features to detect malignant transformation of endometriosis. Evidence is not clear about prophylactic oophorectomy in preventing EAOC in patients with endometriosis. This review provided rationale data for identifying, monitoring, counseling and management of women with endometriosis who are potentially high risk for malignant transformation.
