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: Ovarian carcinoids are exceptionally rare. This report discusses an unprecedented case of a primary ovarian mixed insular and trabecular carcinoid, presenting with constipation. Case Presentation: A 47-year-old female presented with a four-month history of constipation. A comprehensive abdominal CT with contrast revealed a large mass in the pelvic region, measuring 8.6×9.7×9.3cm. Consequently, the patient was referred for further evaluation. Intraoperative exploration uncovered a 10.0×9.0 cm mass in the left ovary. Initial histopathological assessment suggested a sex cord-stromal cell tumor, leading to a left ovariectomy and bilateral salpingectomy. Final histopathological analysis post-surgery identified the mass as a mixed insular and trabecular carcinoid. The patient was diagnosed with stage Ia, T1aN0M0 primary ovarian mixed insular and trabecular carcinoid. Conclusions: Diagnosis of carcinoids predominantly relies on postoperative histopathological examination. As of now, There is no established standard treatment, emphasizing the necessity for ongoing patient monitoring.
