Prompt diagnosis and management of a ruptured mediastinal cystic teratoma.
Article in Radiology case reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 2 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
Mediastinal germ cell tumors are some of the less frequently encountered anterior mediastinal masses. We report an interesting case of a 26-year-old male with a ruptured mediastinal cystic teratoma. Initial plain radiograph and CT scan of the chest showed radiographic evidence of a ruptured cystic teratoma, including a peripherally enhancing, partially calcified mass with internal fat density. Upon surgical excision, the mass was found to adhere to the thymus and anterior aortic arch. The patient was promptly diagnosed via imaging and managed in a timely manner via complete surgical resection.
