Giant intrathoracic lipoblastoma in a 3-year-old child.
Article in Indian journal of thoracic and cardiovascular surgery, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Lipoblastoma is a rare benign tumour which originates from embryonic fat tissue mainly affecting children below 3 years of age and is exceptionally rare in the thoracic cavity. Preoperative imaging is used to assess the extent of disease and aid surgical planning but definitive diagnosis is usually by histopathological examination. Complete surgical excision is the treatment of choice. Because of the tendency for these lesions to recur, regular follow-up is mandatory even with presumed complete excision. In this study, we report the case of a 3-year-old boy who presented with a huge intrathoracic tumour occupying the whole of the left hemithorax. A complete resection of the tumour was undertaken, with histopathology report confirming the diagnosis of lipoblastoma. The relevant literature review was done. At 6 months of follow-up, there was no recurrent tumour on imaging and the child was thriving well.
