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

backgroundEndometriosis is a risk factor for ovarian cancer. Endometriosis-associated ovarian cancer (EAOC), most commonly clear cell carcinoma, is believed to develop from ovarian endometrial cysts. In this study, we reviewed published cases of EAOC considered to have developed from endometrial cysts, and focused on the observation period.

methodsWe searched for articles published since January 2000 that reported cases of ovarian cancer thought to have originated from endometrial cysts using PubMed, Web of Science, and Ichushi-Web. The period from the start of follow-up of the endometrial cyst to the diagnosis of ovarian cancer was calculated.

resultsSeventy-nine cases were identified from 32 articles. The median period from the diagnosis of endometrial cysts to the diagnosis of ovarian cancer was only 36 months. Approximately 75% of cases developed into cancer within 60 months and most cases developed within 120 months.

conclusionOur results suggest that clinically detectable cysts subsequently diagnosed as ovarian cancer might already have contained cancer cells. Therefore, the mechanism of EAOC development needs to be re-examined and appropriate management guidelines need to be developed.
