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

Adnexal masses are frequently encountered in general practice. Whether employing CT, US, or MRI, imaging plays a pivotal role in guiding appropriate treatment for patients with adnexal masses, potentially minimizing the need for surgery in benign cases and expediting the management of those with suspected malignancy. Accurately distinguishing benign from malignant adnexal masses can be challenging due to the confined pelvic space and the proximity of organs, making it difficult to determine their organ of origin or to distinguish tissue characteristics and imaging features. Radiologists have identified a myriad of classic adnexal imaging signs that are pathognomonic of certain diagnoses. Often named analogously to familiar objects, such as the "boba sign," familiarity with these signs can contribute to an accurate diagnosis, avoiding additional imaging tests. This pictorial review is a compendium of known radiological signs of adnexal pathologies, reiterating their role in making an accurate diagnosis, and guiding the next steps in management.
