Surgical treatment strategies for invasive thymoma.
Review in Journal of thoracic disease, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 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
A thymoma is a common anterior thymus mediastinal tumor composed of atypical epithelial tumor cells, though the morbidity rate is lower as compared to other types of thoracic malignancy such as lung cancer and lung metastasis from another primary cancer. As a result, clinical data regarding thymomas have not been well discussed as compared to those of other carcinomas. Also, because of the low morbidity rate and insufficient clinical experience, oncological characteristics and clinical treatment options are poorly understood. Surgical complete resection is the most reliable option for clinical treatment of a thymoma. This tumor can easily develop adjacent to several different structures and nearby organs, such as the pericardium, lungs, and great vessels, which are easily invaded when the size is large, and a combined resection is then needed.
