Surgical Treatment of a Rare Case of Ovarian Fibroma Associated With Elevated CA125 Levels in a Patient of Reproductive Age: A Case Report.

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
Small ovarian fibromas (< 10cm) associated with elevated serum CA125 levels are rarely encountered, particularly in women of reproductive age. We report a rare case diagnosed in a 35-year-old patient after adnexectomy for a solid ovarian mass of approximately 5cm in maximum diameter, accompanied by elevated serum CA125 levels. In preoperative evaluation, no signs of inflammation from the genital tract were found, and no medical history of endometriosis, uterine leiomyomas, or non-gynecological cancer was reported. Intraoperative frozen section biopsy of surgical specimen obtained from the ovarian tumor had negative evaluation for malignancy. Histological examination of the surgical specimen confirmed the diagnosis of ovarian fibroma. The postoperative course was uneventful. Two months after surgery, the blood serum CA125 levels were within normal ranges. The patient is assessed at regular intervals in the gynecology outpatient clinic. In this paper, based on the data of the modern literature, a brief review of this rare nosological entity is made.
