Imaging Evaluation of Ovarian Masses in a Pediatric Population: A Comprehensive Overview.
Review in Cancers, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Ovarian tumors are rare in the pediatric population, yet they are the most common type of malignancy in tumors of the female genital tract. Both non-neoplastic and neoplastic ovarian lesions are seen in children and adolescents. Most pediatric ovarian tumors are benign. Germ cell tumors constitute the majority of ovarian tumors in the pediatric cohort, and mature teratoma is the most prevalent histologic type. However, 3-8% % of ovarian tumors in children and adolescents are malignant. Accurate characterization of ovarian masses in the pediatric population is crucial to determine the appropriate treatment, which should be minimally invasive and focused on preserving fertility. Transabdominal US is the main imaging modality for the assessment of pediatric ovarian masses. MRI represents a valuable adjunct tool for the evaluation of sonographically indeterminate ovarian lesions. This technique is also recommended for tumor staging and follow-up. CT is often used in emergency situations or when there are contraindications for MRI. Imaging findings, along with clinical features and laboratory results, play a crucial role in the characterization of ovarian masses in the pediatric population. This narrative review was based on a comprehensive literature search of articles about imaging findings of ovarian masses in the pediatric population, published between 1977 and April 2025. Data were obtained from the PubMed database, using the following keywords: "imaging", "ovarian tumors", ovarian masses", and "pediatric". This article aims to provide an overview of the role of imaging in the assessment of ovarian masses in the pediatric age group.
