The application of 18F-FDG PET/CT in ovarian immature teratomas when pathological examination results contradict clinical observations: a case report.
Article in Medicine, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
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
rationaleFluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (18F-FDG PET/CT) could reveal potential lymph node involvement and assisted locating sample sites for pathological examinations. PATIENT CONCERNS: Help choose the right treatment strategies for patients. To better stage immature ovarian teratomas with 18F-FDG PET/CT when lymphatic metastasis is suspected while lymph node biopsy results are negative. DIAGNOSES: The ultimate pathological diagnosis was left ovarian cancer, an immature teratoma (IMT) Grade 1.
interventionsSurgery was the initial treatment option. Chemotherapy (BEP scheme: Bleomycin 30 mg d1, 7 + Etoposide 100mg d1-6 + Cisplatin 50mg d1-3) was then administered. OUTCOMES: The post-operational pathological examination additionally showed a small number of tumor cells in para-aortic lymph nodes. The end-of-treatment disclosed no recurrent tumors and serum levels of AFP (2.9 ng/mL), hCG (0.12 mIU/L), and CA-125 (11.4 IU/mL) were normal. LESSONS: 18F-FDG PET/CT successfully detected lymphatic metastasis when lymph node biopsy results were negative, which would be of great significance in detecting metastasis and monitoring reoccurrence of ovarian immature teratomas.
