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

Mature teratoma of the fallopian tube is extremely rare. Most cases are incidentally diagnosed as originating from the fallopian tube following cesarean section, diagnostic laparoscopy, or examination of a surgical specimen. Here, we present a case of mature teratoma of the fallopian tube identified during laparoscopic surgery. A 5-cm mature teratoma was detected in the pelvic cavity of a 30-year-old Filipino female using transvaginal ultrasonography, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Laparoscopy revealed a cystic tumor arising from the isthmus of the right fallopian tube, macroscopically distinct from the normal right ovary. The patient underwent laparoscopic right salpingectomy. Histologic analysis confirmed a benign, mature teratoma of the fallopian tube. Gynecologic surgeons should be aware of this rare entity, as it may be encountered incidentally during surgery and influence intraoperative decision-making.
