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

backgroundSince malignant struma ovarii is a very rare disease, its carcinogenic mechanism has not been elucidated. Here, we sought to identify the genetic lesions that may have led to the carcinogenesis of a rare case of malignant struma ovarii (follicular carcinoma) with peritoneal dissemination.

methodsDNA was extracted from the paraffin-embedded sections of normal uterine tissues and malignant struma ovarii for genetic analysis. Whole-exome sequencing and DNA methylation analysis were then performed.

resultsGermline variants of

conclusionsSomatic UPD and DNA methylation in tumor suppressor genes may be associated with the pathogenesis of malignant struma ovarii. To our knowledge, this is the first report of whole-exome sequencing and DNA methylation analysis in malignant struma ovarii. Genetic and DNA methylation analysis may help elucidate the mechanism of carcinogenesis in rare diseases and guide treatment decisions.
