Clinicopathological characteristics of mediastinal follicular dendritic cell sarcoma: report of three cases.
Article in Journal of cardiothoracic surgery, 2016. 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
backgroundFollicular dendritic cell sarcoma (FDCS) is a rare malignant neoplasm of follicular dendritic cells that form a tight meshwork within lymphoid follicles. It occurs most commonly in the lymph nodes and occasionally at extranodal sites, but rarely in the mediastinum. It is an under-recognized clinical entity without clear diagnosis. Due to its rarity, FDCS is easily misdiagnosed by clinicians or pathologists. CASE PRESENTATION: Herein, we report three unusual cases of mediastinal FDCS, including one with hyaline vascular Castleman's disease in woman. The clinicopathological characteristics and CT imagings were described. Their diagnosis was confirmed by immunohistochemical stainings of specific markers. Their therapeutic intervention, follow-up and outcomes were presented with brief literature review.
conclusionsA huge mediastinal shallowly-lobulated, demarcated soft tissue mass, with speckled, strip-like, coarse or arborizing calcification inside, and mild to moderate enhancement after contrast material administration on CT image, should consider FDCS as a possible diagnosis.
