Cervical neonatal teratoma in Sudan: a case report.
Article in Journal of surgical case reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Cervical neonatal teratomas represent rare congenital germ cell tumors originating from all embryonic layers, accounting to ~3% of childhood teratomas. The anatomical positioning of these tumours presents considerable risks both prenatally and postnatally, such as polyhydramnios, airway deviation, and obstruction. This study documents the case of a 45-day-old female neonate from South Darfur, Sudan, who exhibited a massive anterior cervical mass since birth. Imaging studies revealed a lobulated cystic formation with calcifications that were inseparable from the thyroid gland. A surgical excision of the mass was done along a total thyroidectomy and the histopathology confirmed the presence of an immature teratoma grade 2. Following the surgery, the patient was discharged under thyroid replacement therapy and demonstrated satisfactory recovery. This case underscores the diagnostic difficulties and potentially life-threatening implications associated with cervical teratomas, especially in low-resource environments.
