Invasive thymoma with intravascular growth into the great veins and right atrium: A case report.
Article in Thoracic cancer, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Here, we present a case of invasive thymoma with intraluminal growth into the left and right brachiocephalic veins, superior vena cava and the right atrium. Resection of the mass, double partial upper lobe lobectomy and superior vena cava, and left and right brachiocephalic vein replacement were performed. Pathological diagnosis indicated a mixed histological pattern indicative of type B1 and type B2 thymoma, predominantly type B2 thymoma. The patient was well and without local recurrence or distal metastasis after 50 months of follow-up.
