Metastatic Malignant Struma Ovarii and Graves' Disease: A Rare Occurrence.
Article in AACE clinical case reports. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
objectiveMalignant struma ovarii (SO) is a rare condition. Although there have been a few reported cases of malignant SO with coexisting Graves' disease (GD), the exact incidence of metastasis in these cases is not known. We report a rare case of metastatic malignant SO coexisting with GD.
methodsClinical examination, pelvic ultrasound, and histopathology of the resected tumor were performed, followed by iodine-131 (I-131) and whole body scan. Antithyroglobulin titers were postoperatively followed.
resultsA 43-year-old woman with a history of left ovarian cystic teratoma with SO resected 8 years ago and recently diagnosed GD presented with lower abdominal fullness. Pelvis ultrasound showed a 13.8-cm left adnexal mass, and she underwent left salpingo- oophorectomy. Histology confirmed an intraovarian thyroid tissue housing a highly differentiated follicular thyroid carcinoma, with metastatic peritoneal deposits. She underwent completion surgery and total thyroidectomy. Histology showed no evidence of intrathyroidal malignancy. I-131 therapy was administered, and posttherapeutic I-131 whole body scan revealed a remnant disease. She was started on suppressive levothyroxine therapy and remained clinically well at her 1-year follow-up with downtrending antithyroglobulin titers.
conclusionThe coexistence of malignant SO and GD is very rare, and even rarer is the coexistence of metastasis malignant SO and GD. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case of metastatic malignant SO in the setting of GD.
