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 ovarian teratomas, also called dermoid cysts, are the most common ovarian neoplasms in women, especially those of reproductive age. While the general clinical approach and treatment of teratomas do not differ in a patient with a concomitant diagnosis of Rett syndrome, the presentation, surgical preparation, and clinical course can be influenced by the pathophysiology of the condition. We report the case of a 35-year-old nonverbal woman with Rett syndrome presenting with symptoms of abdominal pain, constipation, abdominal distension, nausea, and vomiting. Computed tomography of the abdomen and pelvis revealed a mass in the left lower quadrant, originating from the left adnexa. During an exploratory laparotomy, a large cystic mass was identified in the region of the left adnexa with associated adnexal torsion, and the patient underwent a left salpingo-oophorectomy. Microscopic examination of the adnexal mass confirmed a diagnosis of mature ovarian cystic teratoma. This report adds to the limited literature on gynecologic pathology in Rett syndrome.
