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

backgroundClear cell borderline ovarian tumor (CCBOT) is one of the rarest subtypes of borderline ovarian malignancies. The aim of this study was to determine the prognosis of a series of CCBOT. PATIENTS AND

methodsA retrospective review of patients with CCBOT treated or referred to our institutions. A centralized histological review by a reference pathologist and data on the clinical characteristics, management, and outcomes of patients were required for inclusion.

resultsNineteen patients were identified. Median age was 62 (range 36-83) years. Four patients underwent a conservative surgery and 14 a bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy +/- hysterectomy (unknown in 1 case). One patient had bilateral tumor, and all cases were stage-I disease. All CCBOTs showed an adenofibromatous pattern. Stromal microinvasion was observed in seven cases and intraepithelial carcinoma in two cases. Endometriosis was histologically associated in one case. The median follow-up was 76 (range 6-231) months. No recurrence occurred. Two patients died of intercurrent disease.

conclusionsPeritoneal staging procedures should always be associated, but restaging surgery could be omitted if there was no suspicious lesion in the peritoneum during initial surgery, since all patients reported had stage-I disease. Fertility-sparing surgery appears to be a safe alternative in young patients. Synchronous endometrial disorders with atypia are infrequent. Prognosis is generally excellent, and long-term risk of recurrence is low. The two recurrences described in literature occurred in stage-IC diseases, highlighting the importance of avoiding perioperative rupture.
