Mature mediastinal teratoma with adhesions to the pericardium: A rare case report.
Article in Clinical case reports, 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
Key Clinical Message: Mature mediastinal teratoma (MMT) is a benign tumor that is composed of well-differentiated tissues from all three germ cell layers. Malignant tumors have a distinct feature of adhering to the surrounding organs. Therefore, adhesion of MMT to the adjacent tissues, as a benign tumor, is rare and considered a surgical challenge. It leads to incomplete tumor resection to avoid damage to the surrounding tissues. Abstract: MMT is a germ cell tumor that contains well-differentiated tissues from ectodermal, mesodermal, and endodermal germ cell layers. MMT comprises approximately 3%-12% of mediastinal tumors in adults and 60%-70% of mediastinal germ cell tumors. Complete surgical resection is the standard treatment. When adhesion to the surrounding tissues is present, residual tissues could be retained to reduce the injury of the peripheral blood vessels and nerves. We are reporting a rare case of MMT with adhesions to the pericardium and discussing the diagnostic and surgical challenges.
