Prognostic factors for malignant tumors arising from mature cystic teratomas: a study involving the Kansai Clinical Oncology Group (KCOG-G1305s study).

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
purposeCurrent data regarding prognostic factors for malignant tumors arising from mature cystic teratomas (MT-MCTs) and effective treatments are insufficient. This study aimed to identify risk factors for MT-MCTs of the ovary.
methodsTumor samples diagnosed as MT-MCTs were collected from 13 institutions that participated in the Kansai Clinical Oncology Group. Based on the clinicopathological features and prognoses of the tumors, risk factors for progression and death were statistically assessed using univariable and multivariable analyses.
resultsAmong the 60 tumor samples collected, 56 were diagnosed as MT-MCTs. Four samples were excluded based on the results of a central pathological review. Nine histological types, including squamous cell carcinoma, were diagnosed. Thirty of the 56 included samples were classified as International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stage I, seven were classified as FIGO stage II, 18 were classified as FIGO stage III, and one was classified as FIGO stage IV. The 5-year progression-free survival and overall survival probabilities for stage I disease were significantly higher than those for stages II-IV disease (p < 0.001). In the multivariable analysis, surgery with residual tumor margins was a prognostic factor for progression, and FIGO stages I-IV and the absence of adjuvant therapy were prognostic factors for death.
conclusionSurgery without residual tumor margins and adjuvant therapy may be promising treatments for advanced-stage MT-MCTs.
