Giant malignant Triton tumour of the posterior mediastinum.

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
Outsized tumours of the mediastinum are always present a challenge for the thoracic surgeon. This is a case report of a giant malignant Triton tumour occupying almost the entire right hemithorax. The patient presented in the accident and emergency (A&E) with severe dyspnoea. He referred a history of surgically excised fibromyxomatous sarcoma of the left lower limb with 2 local recurrences. The imaging studies revealed apart the giant neoplasm, total right lung atelectasis and pleural effusion. After diagnostic evacuation of the pleural effusion and bronchoscopy, the patient operated through a right postero-lateral thoracotomy; a giant well-encapsulated tumour not invading any anatomic structures or lymph nodes originated from the posterior mediastinum was excised radically. The patient recovered well and received radiotherapy after the operation for preventing local recurrence.
