Sclerosing Stromal Tumor of the Ovary Presenting as Meigs Syndrome During Childhood.
Article in Cureus, 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
Meigs syndrome is a rare disorder characterized by a triad of benign ovarian tumor, ascites, and pleural effusion. Despite its benign nature, its presentation can be similar to metastatic malignancy, making preoperative diagnosis often challenging. The differential diagnosis includes serious and even life-threatening conditions. Meigs syndrome is most common in postmenopausal women and is extremely rare in children. It is often undiagnosed until an invasive surgery is performed. The fact that surgery includes a unilateral salpingo-oophorectomy in females of reproductive age raises concerns for future fertility and other risks associated with this intervention. Familiarity of radiologists and pediatric surgeons with clinical and imaging findings is beneficial to improve preoperative planning, thereby minimizing invasive surgery and preserving ovarian tissue.
