1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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 mediastinum is the most common location of mediastinal tumors, which include various solid and cystic lesions. The lesion location and CT and MRI features are important in the differential diagnosis. Recently, CT-based mediastinal compartment classification systems were proposed and suggested to be useful for accurate evaluation of mediastinal lesions. CT and MRI reflect the pathological findings of mediastinal lesions, and knowledge of the pathological features is important for the differential diagnosis. In this article, we review the CT and MRI features of anterior mediastinal lesions and describe important points in the differential diagnosis.
