Surgical resection of micronodular thymic carcinoma with lymphoid hyperplasia: a case report.
Article in General thoracic and cardiovascular surgery cases, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundMicronodular thymic carcinoma with lymphoid hyperplasia is an extremely rare thymic tumor, exhibiting a variety of cell morphologies with mild to severe dysmorphism. Since few cases have been reported, the prognosis of this disease is unclear. CASE PRESENTATION: A 55-year-old woman was referred to our hospital with an anterior mediastinal tumor. She was incidentally detected with a tumor in a medical examination. We diagnosed the patient with thymic carcinoma or thymoma and performed surgery via median sternotomy. Histologically, tumor cells showed weakly acidic vesicles and bright nuclei, including small nucleoli. Most of the tumor cells were cluster of differentiation (CD)5-positive, CD3-negative, and terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT)-negative.
conclusionsBased on these histological findings, the resected specimen was diagnosed as micronodular thymic carcinoma with lymphoid hyperplasia. The patient's postoperative course was uneventful, and no signs of recurrence were observed at 5 years after the surgery.
