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

Purpose: Struma ovarii is a highly specialized teratoma consisting primarily of mature thyroid tissue. However, malignant struma ovarii coexisting with thyroid carcinoma, not to mention autoimmune disease, is uncommon. Malignant struma ovarii complicated with papillary thyroid carcinoma, Hashimoto's thyroiditis and polycystic ovarian syndrome has never been reported in literature. Patients and Methods: A 32-year-old female was admitted to our hospital due to a history of abdominal distension and menolipsis over the past half a year. Physical examination touched a 6 × 6 cm mass with a clear boundary, normal movement, and no pressing pain in the right adnexal area, Imaging revealed a cystic solid mass of 6 × 7 cm in the right ovary and the level of tumor markers including CA125, CA199, CA153, CEA, AFP were normal, but with low TSH and increased TPOAb, TGAb, TRAb. Laparoscopic right ovary tumor resection was performed, followed by comprehensive staging surgery, as well as thyroidectomy after pathologic diagnosis. The patient was diagnosed with a combination of follicular thyroid cancer from struma ovarii, papillary thyroid carcinoma and Hashimoto's thyroiditis, along with polycystic ovarian syndrome. Immunohistochemical staining showed positivity for Ag, CK-pan, CK7, PAX8 and TTF-1 in the right ovarian mass, and the left thyroid was positive for the BRAF V600E mutation. Results: The patient underwent thyroxine suppression therapy and radioactive iodine Conclusion: Malignant struma ovarii coexisting with thyroid carcinoma is rare. No report has been identified in literature review on the rare malignant struma ovarii coexisting with thyroid carcinoma, Hashimoto's thyroiditis and polycystic ovarian syndrome. Our case can offer experience of diagnosis and treatment to some extent for such rare case. Therefore, it is essential to consider the association between ovarian tumors and the endocrine system. This case is valuable in understanding the diagnosis and management of such an unusual complicated disease.
