Clinical characteristics and survival of patients with normal-sized ovarian carcinoma syndrome: Retrospective analysis of a single institution 10-year experiment.

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
backgroundNormal size ovarian cancer syndrome (NOCS) is a challenge for clinicians regarding timely diagnosis and management due to atypical clinical and imaging features. It is extremely rare with only a few cases reported in the literature. More data are needed to clarify its biological behavior and compare the differences with abnormal size ovarian cancer.
aimTo assess the clinical and pathological features of NOCS patients treated in our institution in the last 10 years and to explore risk factors for relapse and survival.
methodsPatients who were pathologically diagnosed with NOCS between 2008 and 2018 were included. Papillary serous ovarian carcinoma (PSOC) patients were initially randomly recruited as the control group. Demographics, tumor characteristics, treatment procedures, and clinical follow-up were retrospectively collected. Risk factors for progression-free survival and overall survival were assessed.
resultsA total of 110 NOCS patients were included; 80 (72.7%) had primary adnexal carcinoma, two (1.8%) had mesotheliomas, 18 (16.4%) had extraovarian peritoneal serous papillary carcinoma, and eight (7.3%) had metastatic tumors. Carbohydrate antigen (CA)125 and ascites quantity were lower in the NOCS cohort than in the PSOC group. The only statistically significant risk factors for worse overall survival (
conclusionThe clinical symptoms of the NOCS group are atypical, and the misdiagnosis rate is high. Ascites cytology and laparoscopic exploration are valuable in the early diagnosis to avoid a misdiagnosis. The level of CA199 is the most important predictor of overall survival, and more than six cycles of chemotherapy contributes to the increased survival rates of NOCS patients.
