1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Background: Female adnexal tumor of Wolffian origin (FATWO) is an exceedingly rare gynecologic neoplasm characterized by nonspecific clinical manifestations and diagnostic challenges. This article presents a case of an incidentally discovered FATWO in a postmenopausal woman, with a literature review. Case presentation: A 54-year-old postmenopausal woman was found to have a 5.2-cm solid mass in the left adnexa during routine examination. Ultrasonography revealed a well-circumscribed lesion with detectable blood flow, while computed tomography (CT) scan suggested an ovarian origin. Tumor markers were within normal limits, and the patient remained asymptomatic. Single-port laparoscopic exploration identified a 5-cm solid ovarian nodule with an intact capsule. Intraoperative frozen section analysis suggested FATWO, prompting subsequent total hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy. No adjuvant therapy was administered postoperatively, and the patient showed no evidence of disease progression during 1-year follow-up. Conclusion: FATWO exhibits a potentially malignant biological behavior. For postmenopausal patients, total hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy is recommended. Postoperative management should be individualized. Current evidence regarding treatment strategies for reproductive-age patients remains limited, warranting further investigation to optimize clinical decision-making.
