Clear cell carcinoma originating from ectopic thymus.
Article in General thoracic and cardiovascular surgery, 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Cancer of the mediastinum is known to be a relatively rare disease, and clear cell carcinoma in the mediastinum is especially rare. Ectopic thymus is not uncommon, but clear cell carcinoma originating from ectopic thymus has never been reported. We report a case of clear cell carcinoma originating from ectopic thymus in which there was a good response to steroid-supplemented chemoradiotherapy.
