Update in diagnostic imaging of the thymus and anterior mediastinal masses.
Review in Gland surgery, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
Anterior mediastinal masses include a wide spectrum of malignant and benign pathologies with a large percentage represented by thymic lesions. Distinguishing these masses on diagnostic imaging is fundamental to guide the proper management for each patient. This review illustrates possibilities and limits of different imaging modalities to diagnose a lesion of the anterior mediastinum with particular attention to thymic disease.
