Endometrioid Borderline Ovarian Tumor: Clinical Characteristics, Prognosis, and Managements.
Article in Annals of surgical oncology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundEndometrioid borderline ovarian tumor (EBOT) is a rare subtype of borderline ovarian malignancies. This study was designed to determine the prognosis of a series of EBOT.
methodsThis is a retrospective review of patients with EBOT treated in or referred to our institutions and a centralized, histological review by a reference pathologist. Data on the clinical characteristics, management (surgical and medical), and oncologic outcomes of patients were required for inclusion.
resultsForty-eight patients were identified. Median age was 52 years (range 14-89). Fourteen patients underwent a conservative surgery and 32 a bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (unknown in 2 cases). Two patients had bilateral tumors. Forty-three patients had stage I disease, and five patients had stage II disease (10%). Stromal microinvasion and intraepithelial carcinoma was observed in 6 (12%) and 13 (27%) patients respectively. Endometriosis was histologically associated in 12 patients (25%). Synchronous endometrial disease was found in 7 (24%) of 29 patients with endometrial histological evaluation. The median follow-up was 72 months (range 6-146). Two patients developed a recurrence after cystectomy in form of borderline disease (5%). No death related to EBOT occurred.
conclusionsPeritoneal restaging surgery should be performed if not realized initially, because 5% of EBOTS are diagnosed at stage II-III. Fertility-sparing surgery seems a safe option in selected patients. Because synchronous endometrial diseases, including endometrial carcinoma are frequent, systematic hysterectomy (or endometrial sampling in case of fertility-sparing surgery) is mandatory. Prognosis is generally excellent. Recurrence is a rare event (6%), but it can occur in the form of invasive disease.
