Clinical characteristics and timing of intervention in 195 neonatal simple ovarian cysts: a 20-year single-center retrospective analysis.
Article in Pediatric surgery international, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
purposeTo characterize neonatal simple ovarian cysts (SOCs) and determine the optimal timing for intervention based on real-world clinical outcomes.
methodsA retrospective analysis included 163 neonates (195 SOCs) surgically managed at the Third Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from 2004 to 2024. SOCs were grouped by presence or absence of adverse outcomes and further stratified by diameter (< 30 mm, 30-40 mm, ≥ 40 mm). Clinical variables were analyzed, and logistic regression and ROC analysis were performed to identify predictive factors.
resultsAmong 195 SOCs, 105 (53.8%) had adverse outcomes including torsion, necrosis, autoamputation, or hemorrhage. Cysts in this group had significantly larger diameters (median 46.0 mm vs. 35.0 mm, P < 0.001) and longer diagnosis-to-intervention intervals (median 1.50 vs. 0.68 months, P < 0.001). Cysts ≥ 30 mm were strongly associated with adverse outcomes (OR = 17.1, P < 0.001). Multivariate analysis confirmed maximum cyst diameter and delayed intervention as independent risk factors. ROC analysis showed good predictive value for diameter (AUC = 0.720) and moderate value for diagnosis-to-intervention interval (AUC = 0.637).
conclusionOur findings suggest that, in neonatal SOCs, a maximum diameter ≥ 30 mm is associated with an increased risk of adverse outcomes, and longer diagnosis-to-intervention intervals may also be linked to higher risk. For neonates with SOCs-particularly those measuring ≥ 30 mm-early assessment and timely minimally invasive intervention may be considered when clinically appropriate.
