Early Ovarian Teratoma Resection Improves Outcomes in Anti-N-Methyl-D-Aspartate Receptor Encephalitis: A Dual-Case Series.

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
Objective: Anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) encephalitis is a neuroimmune disorder closely associated with ovarian teratomas, yet the prognostic impact of early surgical intervention requires further exploration. This dual-case analysis highlights the critical role of timely teratoma resection in improving clinical outcomes. Case Presentation: Case 1 involved a 34-year-old female presenting with psychiatric-dominant symptoms. A right salpingo-oophorectomy (pathology: immature teratoma) was performed 18 days post-onset, followed by rituximab therapy, resulting in full recovery with a modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score of 0. Case 2, a 16-year-old adolescent, underwent an initial laparoscopic ovarian teratoma resection (pathology: mature teratoma) 28 days post-onset. Residual tumor necessitated a second surgery (on day 95), leaving mild quadriparesis and ataxia with a mRS score of 2. Both cases remained recurrence-free during follow-up (17 and 14 months, respectively). Conclusion: Early surgical resection of ovarian teratomas is critical for favorable prognosis in anti-NMDAR encephalitis, halting antibody production and preventing irreversible neurological damage.
