A case of mediastinal mesenchymal tumor with pericytic neoplasm feature that responded to radiation therapy.
Review in Thoracic cancer, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Here, we report a case of mediastinal mesenchymal tumor with a pericytic neoplasm feature that responded to radiation therapy. A 43-year-old man visited our hospital with a complaint of esophageal obstruction and chest pain. Chest computed tomography revealed a middle mediastinal tumor and a mesenchymal tumor was diagnosed with a pericytic neoplasm feature by video-assisted thoracoscopic biopsy. The definitive treatment for soft tissue tumor is surgical resection; however, the mediastinal tumor was unresectable because of esophageal and tracheal invasion. Radiation therapy was administered and there was a partial tumor response and 2 years disease-free status. With a review of the literature, we discuss the clinical and pathological characteristics of this rare tumor and its treatment.
