Decidualized ovarian endometrioma mimicking malignancy in pregnancy: a case report and literature review.
Review in Journal of ovarian research, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
backgroundOvarian endometrioma is a common gynecologic disease among reproductive-aged women. Pregnancy-related hormonal status may lead to changes of decidualization, which may resemble ovarian malignancies in sonographic appearance. Here we present a case of decidualized ovarian endometrioma clinically mimicking malignant transformation. CASE PRESENTATION: A 37-year-old pregnant woman presented to our hospital at 25 + 5 weeks of gestation with a persistent left adnexal mass that was first detected on routine ultrasound in the first trimester. Transvaginal and transabdominal ultrasound showed a cystic mass of size 8.4 × 5.8 cm in the left ovary with abundant blood flow signals in the papillary medium echo of the capsule wall and inner wall, raising concern for malignant ovarian tumor. After a multidisciplinary discussion, the patient underwent laparoscopic left salpingo-oophorectomy. The results of the frozen section revealed decidualized endometrioma and the final histopathology confirmed endometrioma with extensive decidualization. The patient's postoperative recovery was uneventful and she was discharged on the 4th postoperative day.
conclusionsDecidualized ovarian endometrioma is rare. Sonography and magnetic resonance imaging are helpful for differential diagnosis. Conservative management of expectant management and serial monitoring should be adopted if decidualized endometriosis is suspected.
