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

Mature mediastinal teratoma is a rare benign tumor in children. Few cases have been reported in the literature. Moreover, this tumor is often characterized by slow growth, reaching a large volume and frequently causing nonspecific symptoms, making its diagnosis more difficult. It raises the question of differential diagnosis with malignant mediastinal tumors in pediatric patients, requiring histological confirmation by biopsy or excision. The purpose of this article is to report an atypical clinical finding characterized by spinal deformity, and to contribute to medical knowledge concerning this uncommon pediatric tumor.
