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

Mature cystic teratoma is the most common kind of ovarian germ cell tumor. Malignant transformation is uncommon, with thyroid cancer rarely found. Papillary thyroid microcarcinoma has rarely been described as associated with ovarian teratomas. We report a case of a 34-year-old woman who presented with abdominal pain and an ovarian mass. After surgery, the patient was diagnosed with a follicular variant papillary thyroid microcarcinoma that arose within a mature cystic ovarian teratoma. Based on the small size of the primary lesion and patient preferences, no further treatment was performed. To our knowledge, this is the third reported case of papillary thyroid microcarcinoma arising within a mature ovarian teratoma without struma ovarii. There is no consensus on the surgical approach and postoperative management of this condition. Whether further therapy with total thyroidectomy and radioiodine ablation may be beneficial is unknown. In conclusion, papillary thyroid microcarcinoma can also arise within mature ovarian teratomas. Although a favorable prognosis is anticipated, there is limited information about its history or prognosis.
