Struma Ovarii Associated with Ascites and Elevated CA125: Two Case Reports and Review of the Literature.
Article in International journal of women's health, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Struma ovarii is a rare variety of specialized monodermal mature ovarian teratoma, it is composed predominantly of thyroid tissue. Ascites is present in one third of patients. The combination of struma ovarii, marked ascites and elevated CA125 is a rare condition, which may mimic ovarian cancer. We described two cases presenting with pelvic mass, ascites and elevated serum CA125 levels, frozen section and final pathology turned out to be struma ovarii. Ascites disappeared and the level of CA125 returned to normal level after operation. One of the cases was associated with pleural effusion, leading to a condition called pseudo-Meigs' syndrome. Then we reviewed the related literatures to explore the possible mechanism of ascites and pleural effusion, the reason of CA125 elevation and imaging manifestations of struma ovarii. In conclusion, struma ovarii should be considered in the differential diagnosis preoperatively, when presented with pelvic mass, ascites and an elevated CA125 level.
