Invasive thymoma extending to the right atrium with superior vena cava syndrome presenting massive intracardiac thrombosis immediately after the start of chemotherapy: an autopsy case report.

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
Invasive thymomas with intraluminal tumor thrombi are rare. Removal of the thymoma and infiltration of the superior vena cava (SVC) is a curative alternative. We report an autopsy case of invasive thymoma with intraluminal growth into the intracardiac right atrium extension. Furthermore, the patient died of massive intracardiac thrombosis 5 days after the start of chemotherapy. A 66-year-old man with SVC syndrome was referred to our hospital. He had been aware of swelling of the face for 6 months. The patient was diagnosed with invasive thymoma by a CT-guided needle biopsy of the anterior mediastinal mass. Contrast-enhanced chest computed tomography showed a mass in the anterior mediastinum extending to the SVC and right atrium. As a result of discussion with surgeons and radiotherapists, we planned a multidisciplinary treatment in which neoadjuvant chemotherapy would reduce the tumor size, and surgery and postoperative radiotherapy were followed by chemotherapy. He was administered neo-adjuvant chemotherapy with CBDCA + PTX (carboplatin, area under the curve = 6, and paclitaxel, 200 mg/m
