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

Mature cystic teratomas arise from three germ lines: ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm. They have a certain malignant potential, which is a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. They occur very often in young women, but there are a significant number of postmenopausal cases where the risk of malignancy is greater. Symptoms may be nonspecific, but in the event of complications, an acute condition may develop, threatening the patient's life. Treatment depends on the risk of malignancy, age, and presence of complications. We present a case of a postmenopausal woman with a large mature teratoma of the left ovary involving elements from all three germ lines. A laparotomy and hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy were performed, considering the patient's age and risk of malignancy. Given the risk of complications and malignancy in patients with mature teratoma, early detection, correct diagnosis, and therapeutic management are crucial for a higher chance of a successful outcome.
