Mediastinal Myofibroblastic Inflammatory Tumor Compressing the Airway: An Unusual Cause of Dyspnea in a 12-Year-Old.
Article in Cureus, 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
A healthy 12-year-old presented with wheezing and progressive dyspnea over a 10-month period. He had several general physician consultations and emergency visits during this time and was treated as an asthma exacerbation with no clinical response. He was referred to the pediatric pulmonologist and a tracheal deviation in his previous two chest X-rays was noted, therefore further studies were performed. A severe extrinsic tracheal compression due to a mediastinal mass was documented. He was taken into surgery where a partial resection of the tumor was made. The biopsy of the tumor reported an inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT), a rare tumor with an atypical presentation, which made this case a diagnostic challenge.
