A case report of sclerosing thymoma of the anterior mediastinum: an exceedingly rare morphology.
Review in International journal of clinical and experimental pathology, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
The morphology of thymoma is diverse, although 5 basic subtypes are recognized in the World Health Organization classification system. Sclerosing thymoma was first documented in 1994 and to date only 13 cases have been reported. Sclerosis itself is considered to be an ancient change and can occur in various histological subtypes. Herein, we present a case of a 62-year-old woman incidentally found to have an anterior mediastinal mass, 31 × 24 × 17 mm in size, without an associated autoimmune disease such as myasthenia gravis. The mass was finally diagnosed as sclerosing thymoma derived from type A thymoma. Intraoperative pathological examination using a limited amount of sample did not allow a definitive diagnosis of thymoma in this case. When dealing with fibrous lesions observed in limited samples such as biopsy and intraoperative frozen specimens, recognizing sclerosing thymoma is important since there are several disease entities accompanying fibrosis in the anterior mediastinum.
