Mature Cystic Teratoma: An Integrated Review.
Review in International journal of molecular sciences, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 58 papers, 3 of them syntheses 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
Ovarian dermoid cysts, also called mature cystic teratomas (MCTs), account for 69% of ovarian germ cell tumors in young women. The tumors are formed by tissues derived from three germ layers, and sebaceous materials are most commonly seen. The origin of MCTs is widely considered to be the germ cell origin, which completes meiosis I. The clinical symptoms vary widely, but 20% of tumors could be asymptomatic. The diagnosis of MCTs is usually made without difficulty by ultrasound and confirmed by histopathology post-operatively. The imaging findings have a high diagnostic value. The typical characteristics present in the sonographic images, including a dermoid plug or Rokitansky nodule, are considered strong evidence for a teratoma. Although the malignant transformation of MCTs is rare, it can occur in some cases, especially in women of advanced age. The treatment of MCTs depends on the risk of malignancy, the age of the patient, and the patient's fertility reserve requirement. In this article, we review the epidemiology, clinical symptoms, diagnosis criteria, cellular origin, and treatment of mature cystic teratomas.
