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

We present a case report of an atypical 9 kg intestinal like borderline mucinous ovarian cancer in a 58-year-old postmenopausal woman presenting with ascites, increased abdominal circumference, weight loss, and asthenia. A computed tomography scan revealed a 240 × 180 × 235 mm multilobulated abdominal mass associated with left pleural effusion and atelectasis. A 9 kg mass was resected by laparotomy with combined hysterectomy salpingo-oophoprectomy and appendectomy and multiple biopsies were taken from the omentum, surrounding tissues, and peritoneal walls. The patient was discharged with a wait and see follow up plan. Borderline ovarian tumors are a rare entity of malignancies, they usually occur in younger patients, are asymptomatic without high levels of tumor markers (CA19.9 > 10 000). Extensive surgical resection is still debated as most of these tumors occur in child-bearing age women. With the increasing number of atypical presentations, there is a greater need to generate evidence-based guidelines to guide the management of this disease.
