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

A healthy 38-year-old woman presented with a hard umbilical mass that has been growing for a few months in duration with no other significant symptoms and signs. Computed tomography images identified a lobulated densely calcified umbilical mass, left ovarian cysts, a subcentimeter calcified omental nodule, and nonspecific punctate pelvic calcifications. Histopathology of the mass revealed low-grade serous carcinoma with postsurgical diagnosis of International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stage IV ovarian cancer. This case presentation emphasizes the importance of increased awareness of interpreting radiologists of a seemingly benign appearing imaging finding such as umbilical calcification on CT as a sign of intra-abdominal/pelvic malignancies.
