Contrast-enhanced ultrasound of ovarian steroid cell tumor, not otherwise specified: A case report.
Article in Oncology letters, 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
Ovarian steroid cell tumor is a rare type of ovarian tumor, accounting for ~0.1% of all neoplasms of the ovary. Patients suffering from this type of tumor exhibit virilization due to high testosterone levels. The present study reported a case of an elderly female patient with high testosterone serum levels, resulting in hirsutism and deepening of the voice. Magnetic resonance imaging did not reveal any solid ovarian tumor. However, gray-scale ultrasound indicated suspicious solid nodules on the right ovary. A clear outline of the tumor, characterized by ring-shaped uniform enhancement, was revealed by contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) scanning. In addition, laparoscopic resection of both fallopian tubes and ovaries confirmed the right ovarian steroid cell tumor. After the operation, the patient's symptoms were completely relieved and testosterone levels returned to normal. In the present study, a case of ovarian steroid tumor diagnosed by CEUS was reported, supporting the significant role of CEUS in the detection of adnexal tumors.
