Intrapulmonary mature teratoma: an unusual finding.
Article in Indian journal of thoracic and cardiovascular surgery, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Teratomas are tumors consisting of tissues derived from more than one germ cell line. Usual locations are sacrococcygeal region, intracranial, mediastinum, and gonads. Entirely intrapulmonary teratomas, with no mediastinal component, are rarely reported. We present the case of a 37-year-old man who presented for evaluation due to persistent and progressive intermittent cough. There was no sputum or hemoptysis. Computed tomography (CT) revealed an irregular, cystic lesion in the upper lobe of his left lung, which raised suspicion for aspergilloma. The patient underwent a left thoracotomy and, after finding a completely collapsed and hypoplastic left lung almost entirely occupied by an irregular mass, a total left pneumonectomy was performed. Pathological review reported an entirely intrapulmonary mature teratoma. Intrapulmonary mature teratomas are extremely rare, although several have been reported. Trichoptysis (expectoration of hair) is a specific finding that may help distinguish this entity from mediastinal teratomas.
