Detection of pure Leydig cell ovarian tumor not visible on imaging by selective venous blood sampling in a woman with secondary amenorrhea and hirsutism: A case report.

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
A 39-year-old woman (gravida 1, para 1) was referred to a university hospital with a high serum testosterone level and secondary amenorrhea, hirsutism, and weight gain. Her voice was deep, and hirsutism was observed on her chin, arms, and back. She also had clitoromegaly. Her serum testosterone levels were markedly elevated (testosterone 11.1 ng/mL, free testosterone 15.5 pg/mL). Transvaginal ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging did not reveal any tumors in the pelvic organs, including the uterus and ovaries. Enhanced computed tomography revealed no abnormalities in either adrenal gland. Blood sampling from the inferior vena cava, left renal vein, and the ovarian veins on both sides revealed an extremely high testosterone level (391 ng/mL) in blood from the right ovarian vein. Laparoscopic right oophorectomy was performed and the pathologic diagnosis was a Leydig cell tumor (1.5 × 1.5 × 1.3 cm). Her serum testosterone level decreased rapidly following oophorectomy (0.3 ng/mL on postoperative day 2). Her menstrual cycle had recovered spontaneously by 2 months after surgery and she noticed improvement in the hirsutism 4 months after the operation.
