High-Grade Serous Carcinoma Resulting From Rectal Endometriosis and Complicated With Ovarian Cancer.
Article in Frontiers in oncology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Endometriosis is one of the most common benign gynecological diseases. It shows similar attributes to those of some fatal tumors if it is becomes malignant. These attributes include invasion, implantation, and recurrence. Epidemiological, clinicopathological, molecular biological, and genetic evidence suggest that malignancy of endometriosis, referred to as endometriosis-associated malignancy (EAM), is histologically closely related to endometriosis. Atypical endometriosis, which usually causes EAM, is considered a transitional condition from benign endometriosis to cancer. Approximately 80% of EAMs occur in the ovary and are known as endometriosis-associated ovarian cancer (EAOC). However, extragonadal endometriosis is not common, and no earlier study reported an association between malignant transformation of rectal endometriosis and high-grade serous cancer. We report a rare case of high-grade serous carcinoma resulting from rectal endometriosis and complicated with ovarian cancer. A 63-year-old Chinese woman was admitted with a complaint of abdominal distension. We diagnosed the patient with ovarian carcinoma and decided on elective cytoreductive surgery as treatment for the patient. During the surgery, we found a solid mass of diameter 12 cm in the anterior rectal wall containing sticky brown fluid. Postoperative histopathological examination revealed high-grade serous carcinoma resulting from rectal endometriosis and complicated with ovarian cancer. The patient postoperatively received 6 cycles of chemotherapy consisting of carboplatin and paclitaxel and was followed up for 1 year with no recurrence of the condition.
