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

Mesenteric lipomas are rare tumors, with fewer than 50 reported cases. A 42-year-old woman with no significant medical history was referred to our hospital for surgical removal of submucosal myoma and a left ovarian tumor that was diagnosed at a different clinic. Preoperative magnetic resonance imaging findings suggested a differential diagnosis of fibroma, Brenner's tumors, and mature teratomas; however, the intraoperative findings showed a sigmoidal mesenteric tumor adherent to the left ovary. Pathological examination revealed degenerated adipose tissue, and the patient was diagnosed with sigmoidal mesenteric lipoma. When a degenerated sigmoidal mesenteric lipoma is adherent to the ovary, it must be differentiated from an ovarian tumor.
