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

backgroundEpithelial ovarian cancer is the most frequent gynecologic malignancy; it has a poor prognosis and often occurs bilaterally. Most cases of synchronous bilateral ovarian cancer (SBOC) are metastases from the other ovary, while bilateral primary ovarian cancer is rare. CASE PRESENTATION: The patient was a 47-year-old Japanese woman with a complaint of abdominal pain for 1 month. Imaging results revealed bilateral ovarian tumors with suspicion of malignancy. The patient underwent a laparotomy with total hysterectomy, bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, partial omentectomy, and resection of suspected dissemination in the peritoneum. Histopathological and immunohistochemical studies showed that the right ovarian tumor was an endometrioid carcinoma (G2) and had no association with endometriotic lesions. However, the left ovarian tumor was a high-grade serous carcinoma (HGSC). The final staging was stage 1 right endometrioid carcinoma and stage IIb left HGSC. Six courses of adjuvant chemotherapy with paclitaxel, docetaxel, and carboplatin were administered. The patient showed no signs of recurrence 24 months postoperatively.

conclusionsTo the best of our knowledge, the combination of histological types in this case may be the first report of primary bilateral ovarian cancer. In SBOC, it is important to differentiate the subtypes of histology using immunostaining, in addition to morphopathology.
