Neuroendocrine tumors of the thymus and mediastinum.
Review 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 31 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
Neuroendocrine tumors of the thymus (tNET) and mediastinum are very rare neoplasms with scarce available data. All subtypes [typical and atypical carcinoid tumors (TC and AC), large cell neuroendocrine and small cell carcinoma (SCC)] observed elsewhere in the body occur also in the mediastinum and show only few if any organ-specific morphological differences. Although all available data suggest that the broad principles that govern the biology (and hence) the classification of these tumors in general apply also to tNET, there are a few noteworthy peculiarities related e.g., to risk factors, relative frequency and also to molecular genetic features. In this review, we will briefly summarize current knowledge on tNET with a special emphasis on shared and private features in comparison e.g., with pulmonary NET, which have traditionally been regarded the next closely related NET group.
