Ectopic right parietal pleural thymic carcinoma: a rare case and review of the literature.
Article in Journal of thoracic disease, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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 thymic carcinoma is extremely rare. We present a case of a 73-year-old male patient with ectopic right parietal pleural thymic carcinoma and performed a literature review. Computed tomography (CT) of the chest demonstrated a sharp-edged soft tissue mass with intense enhancement measuring 47 mm × 29 mm with a broader base adjacent to the right axillary chest wall at the level of the 5th rib. There was no hilar or mediastinal lymphadenopathy or evidence of a mediastinal tumor or pleural nodules. A totally extra-pleural tumor resection and partial right lung resection was performed. Histological examination demonstrated infiltrative growth typical of carcinoma cells with a nest-like distribution locally invading the surface of the lung tissue. Immunohistochemical examination confirmed the diagnosis of thymic squamous carcinoma positive for CD5. Mediastinal radical radiotherapy (60 Gy) was performed postoperatively. The patient was followed for 17 months without any evidence of recurrence or metastasis.
