Primary clear cell carcinoma of the thymus and literature comparison of features.
Article in Cancer management and research, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Clear cell carcinoma arising from the thymus is considered exceedingly rare. It shows aggressive clinical behavior and demonstrates frequent local recurrences as well as widespread metastasis. The detailed clinical data of one patient with thymic clear cell carcinoma were compiled, and a review of relevant reported studies was performed. We summarized the clinical characteristics, pathological diagnosis of the patient and other reported cases. The analysis showed that older male patients were more likely to suffer, and the manifestations included chest pain and dyspnea. Some patients are asymptomatic, with the tumor being discovered during physical examination. Histologically, thymic clear cell carcinoma is composed of lobulated structures arranged in hyperchromatic fibrous stroma; the tumor cells are uniform with obvious nucleoli and clear cytoplasm. To establish the correct diagnosis, consideration and exclusion of metastasis and other original tumors in the differential diagnosis by immunohistochemistry, clinical and radiologic correlation is important.
