Complete surgical resection of a thymic cyst located in the middle mediastinum with extension into the carina through a neck incision: A case report study.
Article in International journal of surgery case reports, 2025. 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
introduction and significanceThymic cysts are rare, located in the middle mediastinum, and are often asymptomatic and discovered incidentally. When they are symptomatic, the symptoms are often due to the effect of the mass, and complete surgical excision is preferred to avoid the risk of complications following their persistence. CASE PRESENTATION: We present a case of a patient who had recurrent dyspnea and was later diagnosed with a cystic formation in the middle mediastinum by radiological investigations and successfully treated through a neck incision and completely resected. CLINICAL DISCUSSION: Many physicians fail to include these cysts in the differential diagnosis of cystic lesions in the middle mediastinum, thus missing the opportunity to successfully manage these benign formations.
conclusionThe neck incision is considered suitable and has less surgical trauma and less injury than the previously used transthoracic surgical approaches and therefore may be used in the future for the resection of middle mediastinum lesions in general.
