Radical surgery for pseudo-ovarian malignancy: a case report of bowel endometriosis with massive ascites.

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
Background: Endometriosis is a disturbing condition affecting about 10% of all reproductive aged women. The most severe form of endometriosis is deeply infiltrative endometriosis (DIE). Bowel is commonly affected in DIE. Treatment options of bowel endometriosis include surgery and medication, depending on many factors such as age, the severity of symptoms and desire for pregnancy. At present, the individualized comprehensive management of bowel endometriosis is still under exploration. Here we report an uncommon case of bowel endometriosis treated by radical surgery and postoperative high-dose progestin to enrich the clinical experience. Case Description: A 37-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital for suspected ovarian malignancy in the presence of pelvic mass, massive ascites and elevated CA-125. A laparoscopic radical surgery was performed, and she was diagnosed with bowel endometriosis. Considering the patient's high recurrence risk indicated by bowel endometriosis, massive ascites, severe adhesions, and dysmenorrhea, six-course gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonists therapy followed by high-dose progestin (two levonorgestrel intrauterine systems and subdermal implants) was administrated postoperatively to improve symptoms and prevent recurrence. No recurrence in bowels was observed by November 2021 (53 months). Conclusions: Both patient's desire and condition should be considered in the management of symptomatic bowel endometriosis. Optimal surgical removal is of great significance and individualized hormonal therapy may provide an additional component.
