Bilateral ovarian masses, massive ascites, and prior appendectomy: must it be ovarian cancer? --a case report of pseudomyxoma peritonei 24 years after appendectomy.
Article in Frontiers in oncology, 2026. 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
This case report presents a patient who underwent an appendectomy 24 years ago and was later admitted with bilateral ovarian masses and massive ascites. Ovarian cancer was suspected, and surgical intervention was prompted. During the operation, the abdominal cavity was found to be filled with yellow, jelly-like material. Both intraoperative frozen section and postoperative paraffin-embedded pathology confirmed that the ovarian masses were actually mucinous tumors originated from gastrointestinal duct and was clinically diagnosed as pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP). This case highlights that even in patients with a long history of appendectomy and unremarkable gastrointestinal endoscopy, the possibility of ovarian metastasis from gastrointestinal mucinous tumors leading to PMP should not be overlooked. It also underscores the importance of long-term postoperative follow-up for PMP.
