A rare case of Meigs syndrome in pregnancy.
Article in The Pan African medical journal, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
We present a case of Meigs syndrome in a 19 year old woman. We suspected metastatic ovarian cancer after she had presented in her first pregnancy at 12 weeks gestation. Ultrasound scan had confirmed a complex solid mass in the left adnexa, measuring 7cm x 8cm, a viable 12 weeks pregnancy and gross ascites. She had elevated Ca 125 and serum beta - HCG. She went on to have a spontaneous miscarriage while being worked up for exploratory laparotomy. At laparotomy, a left sided solid ovarian mass 8cm x 10cm with a smooth surface and intact capsule was found. This was later confirmed to be a fibrothecoma at histology. The patient went on to recover without any further reaccumulation of ascites.
