Ovarian serous borderline tumors with recurrent or extraovarian lesions: a Japanese, retrospective, multi-institutional, population-based study.

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
backgroundOvarian serous borderline tumors (SBT) are typically unilateral and are primarily treated using hysterectomy and bilateral salpingooophorectomy (SO). However, most young patients prefer fertility-sparing surgeries (FSS) with tumorectomy or unilateral SO. Micropapillary morphology and invasive implants have been designated as histopathological risk indicators for recurrence or metastasis, but their clinical impact remains controversial because of limitations like diagnostic inconsistency and incomplete surgical staging.
methodsA nationwide multi-institutional population-based retrospective surveillance was conducted with a thorough central pathology review to reveal the clinical features of SBT. Of 313 SBT patients enrolled in the Japanese Society of Clinical Oncology's Surveillance of Gynecologic Rare Tumors, 289 patient records were reviewed for clinical outcomes. The glass slides of patients at stage II-IV or with recurrence or death were re-evaluated by three gynecological pathologists.
resultThe 10-year overall and progression-free survival (PFS) rates were 98.6% and 92.3%. The median recurrence period was 40 months and 77.0% was observed in the contralateral ovary within 60 months. Patients aged ≤ 35 years underwent FSS more frequently and relapsed more (p < .001). A clinic-pathological analysis revealed diagnosis during pregnancy, FSS, and treatment at non-university institutes as well as advanced stage and large diameter were independent risk factors of recurrence. Among patients having pathologically confirmed SBTs, PFS was not influenced by the presence of micropapillary pattern or invasive implants.
conclusionThe recurrence rate was lower in this cohort than previous reports, but the clinical impacts of incomplete resection and misclassification of the tumor were still significant on the treatment of SBT.
