Surgical management of ovarian masses in children and adolescents: experience of an academic institution in France.
Article in Pediatric surgery international, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
purposeSurgical management of ovarian masses in girls still challenging. The aim of the study is to report an 8-year experience in managing children with ovarian masses, and to demonstrate the advantages and the limitations of laparoscopy for such lesions.
methodsData of girls aged less than 18 years operated because of an ovarian mass between January 2015 and February 2023 were retrospectively reviewed. Patients were divided into two groups: group A including children operated by laparoscopy, and Group B of patients who underwent open surgery.
resultsEighty-eight children were enrolled. Laparoscopy was performed in 56 patients (63.6%). Group A patients had smaller tumor size (53.6±38.5 vs. 122.2±75.4 mm, P<0.0001), shorter operative time (50.4±20.3 vs. 71.5±36.5 min, P = 0.004), reduced length of hospital stay (1.4±1.1 vs. 3±2.3 days, P<0.0001), and absence of postoperative complications. Only 3 cases (5.7%) of recurrence were seen exclusively within patients followed for benign tumors during a mean follow-up period of 4.6±3 years.
conclusionLaparoscopy should be done in benign ovarian lesions or/and if a torsion is seen. For tumors at high risk of malignancy, laparoscopy can be performed to establish a clear macroscopic diagnosis, for staging of the disease, and resection of small tumors. Conversion to open surgery is indicated in case of doubt.
