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

Ovarian tumors remain a major gynaecological health problem and are among the leading causes of cancer-related mortality among women in India. Therefore, it is of interest to evaluate serum CA125 levels in women with ovarian tumors and examine their association with clinical diagnosis and risk factors such as age, body mass index (BMI), smoking, parity, and socioeconomic status. Hence, a total of 100 patients with ovarian tumors (50 benign and 50 malignant) and 50 age-matched healthy controls were included, and serum CA125 levels were measured using ELISA. CA125 levels were significantly higher in malignant tumors (1045.28 ± 281.96 U/ml) compared with benign tumors (186.48 ± 103.20 U/ml) and controls (18.50 ± 12.35 U/ml; p < 0.005), with significant associations observed with increasing age, higher BMI, smoking status, lower parity, and higher socioeconomic status. Thus, the combined diagnostic and risk-stratification value of CA125 with demographic and lifestyles factors help improve early detection and clinical assessment of ovarian tumors.
