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

backgroundSclerosing stromal tumors (SST) are rare ovarian neoplasms that often appear as solid unilateral tumors of the ovary with no specific clinical or radiological presentation. The definitive treatment is surgical removal. CASE PRESENTATION: Our article presents four cases of female patients with sclerosing stromal ovarian tumor with clinical characteristics mimicking malignant ovarian lesions. Interestingly, two of our cases had elevated levels of inhibin B. All patients were treated with surgery (oophorectomy) and had no disease recurrence.

conclusionTumors' macroscopic features are usually non-specific and often suggestive of possible malignancy, therefore diagnosis is always based on histopathological report.
