Use of intraoperative ultrasound in resection of early-stage borderline ovarian tumors:

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
Borderline ovarian tumors (BOTs) commonly occur in women of reproductive age. For patients desiring fertility preservation, cystectomies are recommended as healthy ovarian tissue is spared. However, intraoperative identification of small BOTs can be challenging. Intraoperative ultrasound is a novel technique that enhances the visualization of anatomical structures, potentially allowing for a more precise excision of the ovarian lesion, which maximizes the preservation of healthy ovarian tissue. Although it has clear advantages, the literature on the use of intraoperative ultrasound in gynecological surgeries remains limited. Cases: We describe a case series of four women aged between 20 and 33 years old who underwent ultrasound-guided laparoscopic cystectomy for early-stage BOTs. Discussion: We demonstrate that intraoperative ultrasound in laparoscopic resection of early-stage BOTs improves visualization of the ovarian tissue, thereby minimizing the amount of healthy ovarian tissue excised, which optimizes fertility preservation in patients.
