Anterior mediastinal masses and thymic cysts.

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
Cystic lesions of the anterior mediastinum in children suggest a well-known group of benign lesions that are comparatively frequent. Thymic cysts (TCs) are mostly positioned in the anterior mediastinum and some patients in the neck. Benign TCs classified as congenital intra-thoracic mesothelial cysts are commonly asymptomatic and have slight clinical significance. Multilocular TC, which can mimic another anterior mediastinal cystic tumor and is seen in adults, is more clinically important. It is a sporadic mediastinal lesion thought to arise in the course of acquired inflammation. Congenital mediastinal cysts represent 3%-6% of all mediastinal tumors and 10%-18% of radiologically reported mediastinal masses. Mediastinal TCs are uncommon and it is hard to know their true incidence. About 60% of cases with mediastinal TCs are asymptomatic, and the remainder of patients complains of nonspecific symptoms (
