Mediastinal Liposarcoma With Anterior and Posterior Mediastinal Involvement: A Thoracic Oncovascular Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 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
A 64-year-old patient presented with shortness of breath and chest pressure. The initial examination was unremarkable, and a chest X-ray revealed a large mediastinal mass. Computed tomography (CT) scan demonstrated a lobulated mediastinal mass involving the great vessels and mass effect on the trachea, esophagus, and heart. A CT-guided biopsy showed a monotonous, evenly spaced population of mature, normal-appearing adipocytes consistent with a well-differentiated lipoma-like liposarcoma/atypical lipomatous tumor. The patient underwent a median sternotomy with
