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

Objective: To report a case of polypoid ovarian endometrioma mimicking malignant transformation, review the literature on this rare entity, and highlight its implications for surgical management and fertility preservation. Design: Case report and literature review. Subject: One reproductive-age woman with suspected malignant transformation of an ovarian endometrioma. Exposure: Laparoscopic adnexectomy. Main Outcome Measure: Histopathologic confirmation of nonmalignant disease and review of surgical management in previously reported cases. Results: A 38-year-old woman desiring fertility preservation presented with a complex ovarian mass classified as O-RADS 4 on magnetic resonance imaging. Laparoscopic adnexectomy was performed for suspected malignancy. Final histopathologic examination confirmed a benign polypoid endometrioma. Review of the literature identified 22 reported cases, all managed surgically for presumed malignancy, with hysterectomy performed upfront in ten cases despite benign histology. Conclusion: Polypoid ovarian endometrioma is a rare mimic of ovarian malignancy that may lead to extensive surgery before histologic confirmation. Awareness of this entity is essential to reduce overtreatment and to support fertility-preserving management when appropriate.
