A Case Report of Primary Mediastinal Liposarcoma: A Rare Mediastinal Tumor.
Article in Cureus, 2024. 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
Liposarcomas account for about 20% of all sarcomas among mesenchymal neoplasms. Myxomatous liposarcoma is a rare mediastinal tumor that seems the same as other lung disorders. The most common presenting symptoms are chest pain, dyspnea, and dysphagia. Most of the diagnostic findings are provided by radiological or postoperative histopathological tests. Surgery and chemotherapy, in some cases, are the basis of treatment. People with this condition have a higher probability of a favorable outcome if they receive an early diagnosis and treatment. We present a case of a 48-year-old male with primary mediastinal liposarcoma. The patient complained of chest pain and shortness of breath with a productive cough. Computed tomography (CT) showed a large right cystic mass on the right lower thoracic cavity. Surgery was done, and a histopathological examination of the surgical specimen confirmed the diagnosis.
