1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundMediastinal masses are common and comprise a heterogeneous spectrum of disorders. Correct diagnosis has prognostic and therapeutic consequences, which is why precise localization of lesions and interdisciplinary management are essential in clinical practice. This article describes traditional divisions of mediastinum lesions and presents the new classification based on cross-sectional imaging, which was developed by the International Thymic Malignancy Interest Group (ITMIG).

objectivesWhich divisions of the mediastinum have been used so far and how does the division developed by the ITMIG differ? What are the advantages of the new mediastinal classification? MATERIALS AND

methodsComparison of the previously used mediastinal classification with the new mediastinal classification developed by ITMIG and visualization of the respective methods. In addition, pathologies typical for the respective compartments are explained. RESULTS AND

conclusionThe traditional compartmentalization of the mediastinum into an anterior, middle, and posterior mediastinum is not clearly defined and may lead to confusing interdisciplinary communication. Since these classifications are mostly based on projection radiographs, the proposed three-dimensional classification of the ITMIG is a development that suits the modern clinical workflow and promotes standardization. The three mediastinal compartments should thus be termed prevascular, visceral, and paravertebral.
