Unexpected Malignancy: Squamous Cell Carcinoma Arising in an Ovarian Mature Cystic Teratoma Diagnosed Postoperatively.

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
Although mature cystic teratomas (MCTs) of the ovary are typically benign, their rare malignant transformation (MT) into squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) represents a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. Preoperative imaging frequently misleads clinicians by suggesting a benign lesion, and the malignant component is usually identified only after histopathological evaluation. Reporting such cases is valuable to raise awareness of this unusual entity and to emphasize the need for vigilance in the management of ovarian teratomas, particularly in women beyond reproductive age. We report the case of a 65-year-old woman in whom imaging suggested a benign teratoma, but histology revealed SCC, underlining the diagnostic challenge and the importance of awareness of this rare but clinically significant transformation.
