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
Introduction: Struma ovarii is a rare ovarian teratoma characterised by the unusual presence of thyroid tissue. Even though usually benign, malignant transformation is sometimes detected. We report such a case of malignant struma ovarii in a 29-year-old nulliparous woman who was managed systematically with fertility preservation and followed up to have a successful delivery. Patient Intervention: The patient was diagnosed to have bilateral complex ovarian cyst when evaluated for pain abdomen. She underwent bilateral ovarian cystectomy with frozen section biopsy as initial management. On diagnosing as malignant epithelial ovarian tumour in frozen, definitive treatment was planned after final histopathology report and fertility preservation. Her histopathology showed stage 3 malignant struma ovarii. Multidisciplinary team was convened. After further detailed evaluation, she had embryo freezing by controlled ovarian stimulation with antagonist protocol. Two good quality embryos were vitrified on day 2 post-intra-cytoplasmic sperm insemination (ICSI). She underwent staging laparotomy that included uterus conserving surgery with bilateral oophorectomy, omentectomy, peritonectomy, appendicectomy with total thyroidectomy and iodine ablation. After 1 year of follow-up, embryo transfer was done which resulted in a successful delivery. This is, to our knowledge, the first case of fertility preservation after stimulation with gonadotropins in a case of malignant struma ovarii. Conclusion: Poor ovarian reserve due to bilateral ovarian cystectomy, time constraint as she had to undergo a definitive surgery and residual complex ovarian cystic lesions made this a challenging case.
