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

Pseudo-Meigs syndrome is a rare entity where pleural effusion and ascites disappear after resection of a benign or malignant pelvic tumour. We report a 48-year-old woman presented with shortness of breath and abdominal distention. She had a right-sided massive pleural effusion and ascites. Pleural and ascitic fluid analysis revealed exudative effusion in the absence of pyogenic foci, tuberculosis or malignant cells. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography of the abdomen showed bilateral ovarian malignancy with peritoneal deposits and ascites which was later confirmed as serous adenocarcinoma. Surgical resection of the tumour led to the resolution of the pleural effusion and ascites suggestive of Pseudo-Meigs syndrome. The presentation due to bilateral ovarian serous adenocarcinoma has not been reported in the literature.
