Mediastinal germ cell tumors: cohort of patients with this rare entity.
Article in Mediastinum (Hong Kong, China), 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundExtragonadal germ cell tumors are infrequent and represent between 1-10% of all mediastinal tumors. It presents differences to those of gonadal location in terms of clinical presentation, behavior and prognosis which is poor even with treatment.
methodsRetrospective and descriptive cohort study on 16 patients with diagnosis of mediastinal germ cell tumor surgically treated at Maria Ferrer Respiratory Rehabilitation Hospital and Alexander Fleming Specialized Medical Institute.
resultsNine men and 7 women were analyzed over a period of 10 years. The median age was significantly lower among men (22
conclusionsTumors were predominantly primary and not seminomatous. Multimodal treatment was a useful tool to improve the chances of resection and overall survival. There was a percentage of women higher than the published literature, teratomas predominated in them, and surgery was the only necessary treatment.
