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

We present the case of a 73-year-old woman who was incidentally found to have a malignant Brenner tumor (MBT) of the ovary during an evaluation for deep vein thrombosis (DVT). The patient presented with swelling in her left leg, non-healing ulcers, weakness, and numbness in her lower limbs. Imaging studies revealed a large multiloculated cystic mass with areas of calcification in the left adnexa extending to the upper abdomen toward the gallbladder fossa. The patient underwent exploratory laparotomy with removal of the ovarian cyst, later diagnosed as a focal MBT in a background of borderline Brenner tumor. Brenner tumors of the ovary are a rare subtype of ovarian neoplasm that accounts for less than 2% of all ovarian tumors. MBTs are even rarer, comprising less than 5% of all Brenner tumors. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of an MBT incidentally found in a patient with DVT.
