Imaging Evaluation of Thymoma and Thymic Carcinoma.
Review in Frontiers in oncology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 30 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
Imaging is integral in the management of patients with thymoma and thymic carcinoma. At initial diagnosis and staging, imaging provides the clinical extent of local invasion as well as distant metastases to stratify patients for therapy and to determine prognosis. Following various modalities of therapy, imaging serves to assess treatment response and detect recurrent disease. While imaging findings overlap, a variety of CT, MRI, and PET/CT characteristics can help differentiate thymoma and thymic carcinoma, with new CT and MRI techniques currently under evaluation showing potential.
