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

Purpose: Endometriosis (EM) is a common cause of infertility, and an ovarian endometriotic cyst may affect the ovarian reserve, ovulation, and endometrial receptivity. The majority of EM cases are benign; however, EM may also be prone to malignant transformation, associated with infiltrative growth, and recurrent or distant metastasis. In this study, we report the management of an atypical cyst discovered through ovarian endometriotic cyst puncture prior to controlled ovarian stimulation (COS). Case Presentation: The patient required in vitro fertilization treatment due to EM and bilateral fallopian tube obstruction. Prior to initiating gonadotropin (Gn) treatment, the right ovarian EM cyst was punctured; cytological pathology of the obtained fluid revealed an atypical morphology. Subsequently, the case was discussed with the patient and ethically reviewed. Gn was initiated according to the patient's wishes, and six day-3 embryos were finally obtained and cryopreserved. Afterwards, laparoscopic cystectomy of the ovarian endometrioma revealed no malignant transformation. The patient achieved clinical pregnancy after resuscitation and transplantation of the embryo. Conclusion: In summary, patients with EM-associated infertility are at risk of ovarian cancer formation when undergoing assisted reproduction treatment; therefore, this risk should be evaluated and minimized before initiating such treatment.
