Primary mediastinal seminoma.
Article 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 15 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
backgroundThe objective of this study was to evaluate the long term treatment results of patients with primary mediastinal seminoma.
methodsSixteen patients aged 21-46 diagnosed with primary mediastinal seminoma between 1983 and 2014. Mean size of the tumor was 65 cm
resultsDuring median time of 11 years of the follow-up, complete or partial regression (PR) of the tumor was seen in all patients after primary treatment. Recurrence of the tumor was seen in 3 patients. The 5-, 10- and 15-year local control rates were 75%. One was treated with CTH, other two with RTH. All of them responded with complete regression (CR) of the tumor. Three patients died during the follow-up. All others are alive without disease. The 5-, 10- and 15-year OS was 100%, 91% and 91% respectively.
conclusionsChemoradiotherapy of primary mediastinal seminoma gives satisfactory treatment results with good local control rate. The treatment outcome is comparable to primary testicular seminoma.
