Prognosis and postoperative surveillance of benign ovarian tumors in children: a single-center retrospective study.
Article in Jornal de pediatria. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
objectiveTo evaluate the prognosis of benign ovarian tumors and develop a postoperative surveillance strategy for children based on the findings.
methodsThe clinical data of children with benign ovarian tumors treated in the hospital from January 2014 to December 2021 were retrospectively analyzed.
resultsA total of 404 patients were included in this study, with an average age of 9.1 ± 3.1 years. All patients underwent a total of 423 procedures, including 61 oophorectomy and 362 ovary-sparing surgeries. 67 patients were lost to follow-up after surgery. The remaining 337 patients were followed up for a period ranging from 3 months to 9 years (mean 1.6 ± 1.8 years). The ovarian preservation rate for patients undergoing ovary-sparing surgery for the first time was 94.4% (271/287). The overall recurrence rate of benign ovarian tumors was 3.9% (13/337). Of the 13 patients with recurrence, 10 had regular imaging examinations and did not develop symptoms. Three patients had irregular follow-up after surgery and returned to the hospital due to symptoms. The first recurrence interval of these 13 patients after surgery ranged from 0.6 to 5.3 years (mean 2.0 ± 1.4 years). 84.6% (11/13) of the recurrence cases developed within 3 years after surgery.
conclusionOvary-sparing surgery for benign ovarian tumors has a favorable prognosis and a high rate of ovarian preservation. Regular follow-up after surgery for benign ovarian tumors is necessary. Annual imaging follow-up for at least 3 years postoperative can detect most recurrence cases.
