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
Background: Cystic ovarian lesions are defined by an ovarian fluid containing space limited by a membrane. The exact prevalence of the disease is unknown. A proper diagnosis is imperative for the choice of appropriate therapy. The objective of this study is to establish the different histological variants of ovarian cysts diagnosed at the Histopathology Department of Jos University Teaching Hospital between January 1, 2000, and December 31, 2019. Methodology: This is a descriptive study of consecutive cases of ovarian cysts at the Jos University Teaching Hospital, Jos, Nigeria between January 1, 2000, and December 31, 2019. Demographic and histopathologic data were collated from patients' request forms and duplicate copies of histology reports of all histologically diagnosed cases of ovarian cysts at the Histopathology Department during the study period. Result: A total of 236cases of cystic ovarian lesions were seen during the period of the study. Benign and malignant cases constituted 226(95.76%) and 10(4.24%) cases respectively. Corpus luteum cyst was the commonest histological type accounting for 28.33% of cases. Lesions located on the right ovary were 145(61.44%), while those on the left were 95(40.25%). The commonest symptom was abdominal pain. The age range was 4-70years, with a mean, median and mode of 35.02+11.9 years, 33.0 years, and 35.0 years respectively. Conclusion: The vast majority of ovarian cysts in our environment are benign, and commonly occurs in women during their reproductive age. Abdominal pain is the commonest presentation and cysts of the ovary occur more on the right.
