Ruptured mediastinal mature teratoma with shigellosis empyema: A case report.
Article in International journal of surgery case reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
introduction and importanceMediastinal mature teratomas are often benign and asymptomatic, but ruptured mediastinal mature teratoma is rare and induces severe complications. CASE PRESENTATION: A male, 23 year old, complained shorthness of breath, right chest pain, fever, and cough. Radiological examination (X-ray, CT-Scan and MRI) showed mediastinal teratoma and pleural effusion. The patient received supportive therapies, including oxygen, symptomatic therapy, antibiotics, and lateral thoracotomy. Empyema culture was positive for Shigella dysenteriae. He was discharged after thirty-six days of hospitalization in good clinical condition. CLINICAL DISCUSSION: Perforation of mature teratoma is a rare but severe complication. Ruptured mediastinal teratoma can cause extensive pleural adhesions and empyema, making it challenging to perform VATS because of the risk of bleeding and damage to adjacent organs during surgery.
conclusionRuptured mediastinal mature teratoma has a good prognosis post-surgical partial resection despite tumor attachment to the pericardium and heart.
