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

Background: Gonadoblastoma (GB) is a rare gonadal neoplasm consisting of germ cells and immature sex cord stromal cells, defined as an in situ malignant tumor that is accompanied by various aggressive malignant components in some cases. GB predominantly arises in patients with gonadal dysgenesis carrying Y chromosome material, while its occurrence in phenotypically normal females with a 46, XX karyotype is extremely rare. Case Presentation: We report an 18-year-old female who presenting with progressive virilization, including generalized acne and voice deepening, as well as long-standing menstrual irregularities. Laboratory tests revealed markedly elevated serum testosterone and positive human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG); pelvic imaging demonstrated rapid enlargement of an ovarian mass within a short period. Laparoscopic left adnexectomy with fertility-sparing surgery was performed, and final histopathology confirmed dissecting GB mixed three distinct components: dysgerminoma, trophoblastic tumor, and Leydig cell tumor. Peripheral blood karyotyping yielded a normal 46, XX result. Sex hormone levels and regular menstrual cycles were restored rapidly after complete tumor resection. Multidisciplinary oncology consultation recommended adjuvant chemotherapy given the invasive components. However, the patient declined systemic chemotherapy and opted for strict long-term surveillance instead. Conclusion: This case describes a unique mixed dissecting GB in a patient with intact female gonadal development and a normal 46, XX karyotype, combined with a literature review of comparable rare cases. The coexistence of spontaneous virilization, tumor-secreted hCG, and multiple malignant germ cell/stromal components renders this case clinically distinctive. Early surgical intervention, standardized pathological subtyping, karyotype testing, fertility-sparing surgery, and prolonged oncologic follow-up are essential for similar patients.
