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
purposeTo investigate the clinical characteristics and prognosis of surgically treated ovarian endometrioma (OMA) in pregnant women.
methodsThis retrospective cohort study analyzed 30 patients with pathologically confirmed ovarian endometrioma during pregnancy and delivery. Clinical characteristics and follow-up data were summarized.
resultsAmong the 30 patients, 21 underwent laparoscopic surgery during pregnancy. A total of 24 OMAs were identified in 21 patients and exhibited various changes during pregnancy: 13 did not show significant changes, 10 increased in size and 1 decreased in size. The indications for surgery included suspicion of malignancy (16/21), large and progressive growth (3/21), and ovarian cyst torsion (2/21). The postoperative pathology results showed that decidualization occurred in 7 cases, while only 1 case was diagnosed with malignancy, and there appears to be a lack of specific clinical characteristics to distinguish between malignant cysts and de ci du a l I zed cysts. Of the 21 patients, 19 underwent successful follow-up. Among them, 2 cases were preterm births, 1 experienced recurrence, and 2 developed adenomyosis during long-term follow-up. Besides, 9 patients underwent cystectomy during the cesarean section. All the ultrasound findings showed regular and smooth-walled unilocular cysts, with diameters smaller than 6 cm and no apparent growth during pregnancy. Postoperative pathology revealed decidualization in 3 cases, and 1 case experienced recurrence during follow-up.
conclusionsOMA presents various changes during pregnancy and caution should also be taken for recurrence after delivery. Surgical intervention is prompted mainly by suspected malignancies which is difficult to distinguish with decidualization, and laparoscopic surgery is relatively safe during mid-pregnancy.
