Rapid regression of stage IVb invasive thymoma under palliative corticosteroid administration.
Article in General thoracic and cardiovascular surgery, 2007. 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
A 53-year-old woman was referred to Matsudo City Hospital for palliative care of stage IVb invasive thymoma with multiple pulmonary metastases and dissemination. Moderate doses of corticosteroid were administered for palliative effects during the preterminal stage of the disease for 2 years. The thymoma progressed slowly but continuously. At age 55, she was admitted to our hospital for a whole-body eruption and high body temperature. We could not identify the pathogen or allergen. Based on the results of a skin biopsy, with the exception of corticosteroid we stopped administering all suspicious medications, including folk medicines. After 1 month of antipyretic therapy, whole-body eruption disappeared and we encountered rapid regression of the thymoma. Unfortunately she died of interstitial pneumonitis only 2 months after the regression.
