Evaluation of surgical procedures in primary mediastinal cysts and tumors: single-center experience.
Article in Kardiochirurgia i torakochirurgia polska = Polish journal of cardio-thoracic surgery, 2019. 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
aimIn this study, we aimed to evaluate the results of our patients with a primary mediastinal mass and the surgical techniques applied in our clinic retrospectively. MATERIAL AND
methodsBetween March 2015 and March 2019, the results and treatment protocols of 32 patients with a primary mediastinal mass or cysts who were followed up and treated in our clinic were evaluated retrospectively. Twenty-six patients who underwent surgery for biopsy or resection were included in the study.
resultsSixteen of our patients were male and 10 were female. The mean age was 39 years. 80.2% of our patients were symptomatic and 19.2% were asymptomatic and a mediastinal mass was incidentally detected in these asymptomatic patients. The most common symptom was dyspnea with frequency of 38.4%. In terms of localization, the mass was lateralized on the right side in 7 patients, on the left side in 5 patients. In 13 patients, the tumor was located in the posterior mediastinum. 8 patients underwent anterior mediastinotomy and 1 patient underwent biopsy with video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS). Most commonly a thymus-derived mass was seen. Fifteen patients underwent excision with VATS, 3 thoracotomy, 2 sternotomy and in 1 patient VATS assisted anterior minithoracotomy was performed.
conclusionsMediastinal tumors and cysts have different histopathological features. Robotic surgery and VATS-assisted surgery are increasingly used in surgical excision.
