Anterior mediastinal teratoma with pericardial effusion. Rare presentation.
Article in Journal of surgical case reports, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
Mediastinal teratoma is an uncommon finding in the pediatric age group, accounting for only 7-11% of extragonadal teratomas. Rarely, the tumor can rupture and erode into the pericardium or pleural space. However, pericardial effusion due to rupture is infrequent. We report a case of such a rare presentation in a 10-year-old young female. The patient underwent a mediastinal tumor excision. Histopathology revealed that there was ruptured mature cystic teratoma with inflammatory reaction. Numerous cases of mediastinal teratoma with pericardial effusion have been reported but only few have been presented in the pediatric age group.
