Ovarian Masses in Children: Surgical Experience and Outcomes.

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
Aims: This study aims to review our experience of treating ovarian masses in children with an emphasis on clinical presentation, diagnosis, treatment, and outcome. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the electronic medical records of all patients below 18 years of age who underwent surgical treatment for ovarian masses at our institute between 2009 and 2023. Study variables included demography, clinical presentation, physical findings, tumor markers, radiologic features, operative details, histopathology, follow-up status, and overall survival. Results: During the study period, 30 patients with a mean age of 10.07 years (range: 15 days-18 years) underwent surgical treatment for ovarian masses. Nonneoplastic ovarian masses were seen in 5 (16.7%) patients, whereas 25 (83.3%) patients had benign (10 [33.3%], borderline 3 [10%], or malignant 12 [40%]) ovarian neoplasms. The most common clinical presentation in the benign group was abdominal pain ( Conclusions: Preoperative imaging characteristics (tumor size and solid component) and raised tumor markers may help us to differentiate between benign and malignant ovarian pathologies. The overall prognosis of pediatric ovarian tumors seems to be favorable.
