Large Mucinous Borderline Ovarian Tumor in an Asymptomatic Woman: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 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
Borderline ovarian tumors represent a unique subset of ovarian tumors. Compared to malignant ovarian cancers, borderline ovarian tumors typically affect a younger patient group and have growth patterns and cytological features that fall between benign and malignant tumors. Because there aren't any clinical signs in the early stages, these tumors are usually discovered by chance during a physical examination. There are very few reports of large mucinous borderline ovarian tumors in the literature, and they present different clinical manifestations. Herein, we report the case of a 61-year-old asymptomatic woman with a large cystic mass initially detected by ultrasonography. Magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography examinations showed a large lesion with a maximum diameter of 24 cm, which stemmed from the right ovary and occupied the entire abdomen. Of the tumor markers analyzed, carcinogen antigen 125 levels were found to be elevated. The patient underwent exploratory laparotomy, and the tumor was removed en bloc. Total hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy and appendectomy was also performed. The pathological examination revealed a cystic neoplasm measuring 25 x 18 x 16 cm and weighing 4 kg, and the histologic study established the diagnosis of a mucinous ovarian neoplasm of borderline malignancy. Despite the size of the tumor, the case described here shows that the patient had a good prognosis because there were no symptoms at diagnosis for a borderline mucinous histotype. Large ovarian lesions are often related to compressive symptoms and require resection soon after diagnosis to ensure a good prognosis.
