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

Ovarian immature teratomas are rare malignant germ cell tumors composed of immature embryonal tissues, most commonly neuroepithelium, and account for less than 1% of all ovarian teratomas. Cytologic diagnosis is challenging because of overlapping morphologic features with other high-grade malignant neoplasms and the limited utility of immunohistochemistry. Herein, we report two cases of high-grade ovarian immature teratomas with metastatic immature neuroepithelial components in young women of childbearing age, emphasizing the cytologic findings, immunophenotypic features, histologic grading, and clinical course.
