Balancing Oncologic Safety and Fertility: A Case of Borderline Ovarian Tumor.
Article in Cureus, 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
Borderline ovarian tumors (BOTs) are epithelial neoplasms that mostly affect women of reproductive age; management requires a balance between oncological safety and fertility preservation. The aim of this case is to illustrate the importance of intraoperative decision-making, patient-centered care, and fertility-sparing management. We present a case of a 31-year-old woman whose right ovarian mass was initially diagnosed as a dermoid cyst by ultrasound. Intraoperatively, a borderline tumor was suspected, and biopsy of both ovaries, omental sampling, and peritoneal lavage for cytology were done. Histopathological examination confirmed a borderline tumor of serous type in the right ovary and a corpus luteum cyst in the left ovary. In the subsequent stage, a right salpingo-oophorectomy, a repeat biopsy of the left ovary, pelvic lavage, omentectomy, and appendectomy were performed using a laparoscopic approach. This case highlights the importance of individualized, stepwise surgical management, ensuring both oncological safety and fertility preservation.
