Primary Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma of the Upper Anterior Mediastinum Mimicking a Thyroid Tumor: A Case Report and Review of Literature.
Review in Frontiers in endocrinology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Primary adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) of the upper anterior mediastinum mimicking a thyroid tumor has rarely been seen in clinical practice and lacks a standard of care therapy. Here, we report a 47-year old female patient with an ACC originated from the upper anterior mediastinum presenting as a thyroid gland tumor. The patient received gross surgical resection of the tumor and underwent post-surgical chemotherapy and radiotherapy. The patient was free from local recurrence 3-years following initial treatment, but developed multiple lung metastases. She remains under clinical observation without discomfort and is still followed as an outpatient. Here, we also summarized recent reports of similar cases with hope to provide some experience for future clinical practice.
