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

Ovarian mucinous cystadenomas are cystic neoplasms lined by mucin-producing epithelial cells. They account for ~15%-20% of ovarian tumors, and in 80% of the cases, they are benign. Intra-abdominal mucinous cystic neoplasms commonly arise from the ovaries but can rarely arise from the mesentery. Here, we report a case of a 49-year-old para II mother who presented with a complaint of progressive abdominal swelling and discomfort of 6 months duration. She had an ill-defined mass around the peri-umbilical and lower abdominal area. Abdominopelvic ultrasound suggested a mesenteric cyst, while computed tomography showed a large, thick-walled cystic lesion of ovarian origin. Determining the tissue of origin of a giant cyst that involves both the mesentery and adnexa is difficult. Torsion of a massive ovarian cyst is a rare gynecologic emergency that involves both diagnostic and management challenges. No matter the diagnostic dilemmas, surgery is the mainstay of treatment.
