Immature Teratoma: A Case Report of a Monster Tumor in the Pediatric Age Group.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Immature teratoma is a rare type of germ cell tumor containing embryonic tissues that may be malignant. It usually occurs in young women and affects the ovaries. Teratomas exhibit benign clinical behavior, but they can return as teratomas or with malignant components, and in a small subset of individuals, the prognosis may be deadly. We will discuss a case of a 9-year-old female child who presented with pain and a huge lump in the lower abdomen that was suggestive of an ovarian dermoid cyst or a germ cell tumor on computed tomography (CT) abdomen pelvis and underwent exploratory laparotomy and debulking surgery. Histopathology results indicated that she had a grade 3 immature teratoma. Postoperatively, the patient received 3 cycles of bleomycin, etoposide, and cisplatin (BEP) as adjuvant chemotherapy with a good response. She is currently under regular follow-up and has no evidence of recurrence or metastasis. This case illustrates the importance of early diagnosis and treatment of immature teratoma, which can be cured with surgery and chemotherapy. It also highlights the challenges of managing such a large tumor in a pediatric patient.
