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: To investigate the dynamic changes in ovarian mass size during pregnancy and the impact of different management methods for ovarian masses on pregnancy outcomes. Methods: A multicenter retrospective analysis of 177 pregnant women with ovarian masses (142 follow-up and 35 surgical cases) assessed mass size via ultrasound, analyzed its dynamic changes and risk factors, reviewed management impacts on perinatal outcomes, and calculated pathological type distributions. Results: Compared to first trimester, the maximum diameter and volume of ovarian masses significantly decreased in the third trimester. Furthermore, compared to third trimester, the maximum diameter and volume of these masses were further reduced postpartum ( Conclusions: The size of ovarian masses showed a decreasing trend as pregnancy progresses. Higher prepregnancy BMI and younger age were risk factors for the increase in ovarian mass size during pregnancy. Furthermore, when performed appropriately, surgical intervention for ovarian masses during pregnancy was safe. Mature cystic teratoma was the most prevalent pathological entity of ovarian mass treated surgically during pregnancy.
