Ectopic Cervical Thymoma Excised through a Transcervical Approach Combined with Video-assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery: A Case Report.
Article in Annals of thoracic and cardiovascular surgery : official journal of the Association of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgeons of Asia, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Ectopic cervical thymoma (ECT) is a rare tumor. We present a case of 56-year-old woman with an ECT in the anterior neck that was correctly diagnosed preoperatively. The patient had no symptoms of myasthenia gravis or other immune disorders, and the tumor was not invading any adjacent structures. We performed tumor resection and thymectomy through a transcervical approach using video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery with a multi-access single port. To our knowledge, this is a novel combined technique for the resection of an ECT.
