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

Torsion occurs as a complication in 10% of cases of ovarian tumors. It predominantly occurs in benign ones, while malignant tumors are less prone to torsion. Sertoli-Leydig cell tumors are highly unusual sex cord-stromal tumors of the ovary, accounting for less than 0.2% of all ovarian cancers. A 39-year-old patient presented to the emergency department with a Sertoli-Leydig cell tumor diagnosed due to ovarian torsion. The clinical presentation was characterized by abdominal pain. Ultrasound indicated signs of torsion, and torsion of the right ovary was subsequently confirmed during laparotomy. A salpingo-oophorectomy was performed, and histological examination revealed a moderately differentiated Sertoli-Leydig cell tumor. Sertoli-Leydig cell tumors often present with hormone-related or non-hormonal symptoms. Surgery plays a crucial role in both diagnosis and treatment. Postoperative treatment is not necessary for well-differentiated Sertoli-Leydig cell tumors in stage IA-IB. However, patients with grade 2-3 disease, advanced stage, or heterologous elements may consider adjuvant treatment. As these tumors are rare, this case contributes to the documentation of Sertoli-Leydig cell tumors, with a case diagnosed due to ovarian torsion. The case highlights the importance of establishing international registries of Sertoli-Leydig cell tumor cases for standardized management.
