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

The coexistence of an endometrioma and a dermoid cyst is very uncommon, and there are few case reports of both conditions in the ovaries. A 41-year-old patient presented with left pelvic pain. She was referred with a bilateral pelvic mass. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) confirmed a dermoid cyst on the left ovary and an endometrioma on the right side. The patient was taking ibuprofen to relieve pain until the day of surgery. She was advised to proceed with bilateral laparoscopic cystectomy. During the laparoscopic procedure, the inspection showed that ovaries were bilaterally enlarged with cystic appearances. Bilateral ovarian cystectomy was performed in which a left dermoid cyst was removed intact within the ovary followed by a rupture of the endometrioma on the right. The patient tolerated the procedure without any complications. This case of coexistence of endometrioma and dermoid cyst in each ovary, confirmed by MRI due to atypical findings on ultrasound, highlights how efficient removal of both cyst is crucial.
