Comparison of Serum Zinc and Copper Concentrations in Females with Ovarian and Uterine Tumors.
Article in Journal of medical physics. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Background and Aims: Ovarian and uterine tumors are among the most serious gynecological diseases and the most common cause of mortality globally. In recent times, the role of trace elements in the onset and development of tumors has come under the review. This study aimed to assess the levels of Zn and Cu in the serum of female patients with benign and malignant uterine and ovarian tumors. Materials and Methods: One hundred and twenty-four women with benign and malignant ovarian and uterine tumors were eligible for the study. Blood samples were obtained and analyzed using flame-atomic absorption spectroscopy spectrometry in Najaf City, Iraq Results: Serum zinc levels exhibited lower concentration (4.73 ± 1.92) in patients with malignant uterine tumors than those with benign uterine tumors (10.80 ± 1.87, Conclusions: Serum concentrations of copper and zinc increased in some study groups and declined in others. The examination of serum trace element concentrations in patients with ovarian and uterus tumors would provide us with insight into a better understanding of the pathogenesis of the tumors and also to distinguish between them.
