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.

Abstract

rationaleAnti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) encephalitis is an autoimmune disorder that is most frequently induced by ovarian teratoma in young females. The condition can be controlled and reversed via ovarian tumor resection and immunotherapy. However, anti-NMDAR encephalitis induced by bilateral ovarian teratomas with distinct histopathologic types is rarely reported in the literature. PATIENT CONCERNS: A 23-year-old woman presented with seizures. DIAGNOSES: The diagnosis was anti-NMDAR encephalitis associated with ovarian teratomas based on positive anti-NMDAR antibody tests in both the cerebrospinal fluid and serum, and the detection of bilateral ovarian lesions on pelvic computed tomography. The postoperative histopathologic examination confirmed that the left lesion was an immature teratoma, and the right lesion was a mature teratoma.

interventionsWe performed surgical resection of the ovarian teratomas and administered immunotherapy for the control of anti-NMDAR encephalitis. Chemotherapy was administered for the immature teratoma. OUTCOMES: The patient recovered without any postoperative complications. She has been confirmed to be in complete clinical remission, and has not had a recurrence during 18 months of follow-up. LESSONS: Anti-NMDAR encephalitis induced by bilateral ovarian teratomas of differing histopathologic types (1 immature and 1 mature) is rare. Early diagnosis and treatment with tumor resection, immunotherapy, and chemotherapy are critical for a good prognosis.
