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 can be classified by their origin - epithelial tumors, germ cell tumors, and stromal tumors. Malignant struma ovarii (MSO) are 0.01% of all ovarian tumors. In order to be classified as a struma ovarii, more than 50% of the teratoma consists of thyroid tissue. The thyroid tissue in the struma ovarii exhibits the same histological and physiological properties as that of the cervical thyroid tissue. Poorly differentiated thyroid carcinoma (PDTC) is an extremely rare occurrence when arising from an MSO. Including this case report, there are only 10 reports of PDTC in the setting of MSO. Of these cases, this patient is the only one who presented with concurrent primary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). This case study examines how invaluable intra-professional collaboration is for appropriate diagnosis, along with attention to detail of identifying markers in pathology sections and use of the appropriate immunohistochemical analysis.
