Minimally invasive surgery in thymic malignances: the new standard of care.
Review in Journal of thoracic disease, 2018. 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
Surgery is the most important therapy for thymic malignancies. The last decade has seen increasing adoption of minimally invasive thymectomy (MIT) for thymic tumors. MIT for early stage diseases has been shown to yield similar oncological results while being helpful in minimizing surgical trauma, improving postoperative recovery, and reducing incisional pain. Similar surgical and oncological principles should be observed in both minimally invasive and open procedures so as to ensure radical resection and accurate staging of the tumor.
