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

Ovarian tumors include neoplasms derived from somatic cells and germ cells, including teratoma. Sometimes, tumors of the somatic cell type may develop from teratoma, causing diagnostic perturbation. We experienced a case of a tumor composed of several types of tissue in the ovary with a teratoma. When findings of teratoma and somatic tumor coexist in an ovary, it is difficult to differentiate whether a somatic tumor was mixed with a teratoma or a teratoma unitarily caused transformation to a somatic cell tumor. A 72-year-old Japanese woman (gravida, 3; para, 1) presented to our hospital with severe constipation and frequent urination, and a large intrapelvic tumor was detected by computed tomography (CT). Soon after admission, ultrasonography (US) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed a large multilocular cystic tumor on her left ovary. Based on the clinical diagnosis of ovarian cancer, she underwent a left ovariectomy, appendectomy, and partial omentectomy. We observed an ovarian tumor consisting of teratoma, primitive neuroectodermal tumor (PNET), adenocarcinoma, various types of sarcomas, and clear cell carcinoma on the H and E-stained sections. The component of clear cell carcinoma showed a nuclear positive reaction against PAX8 and napsin A, as well as a loss of ARID1A, suggesting typical endometriosis-derived clear cell carcinoma. On the other hand, the expression of ARID1A was maintained in teratoma, PNET, non-specific adenocarcinoma, and various types of sarcomas, suggesting that these tumors had an origin different from that of clear cell carcinoma. These findings indicated that the ovarian tumor of this patient contained a clear cell carcinoma derived from a somatic cell and a teratoma that transformed to a wide variety of somatic cell types of tumors, which coexisted on one ovary. The appropriate use of immunohistochemistry was diagnostically effective in this case.
