Suprasternal Bronchogenic Cyst Masquerading as Thyroid Swelling: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 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
Abnormal foregut budding during early embryonic development results in bronchogenic cysts, which are uncommon congenital anomalies that usually develop along the tracheobronchial tree, in the mediastinum, or inside the lung parenchyma. Bronchogenic cysts, which are lined with respiratory epithelium and filled with fluid or mucus, are frequently asymptomatic but might develop compressive symptoms or recurrent infections if they increase, get infected, or occasionally rupture. Imaging is usually used to make the diagnosis; magnetic resonance imaging or computed tomography can show a well-defined cystic lesion. Asymptomatic cysts can occasionally be treated with observation, but severe or symptomatic cysts typically need to be surgically removed because of the risks of infection, compromised breathing, and, in rare cases, malignant transformation. This case report highlights a 30-year-old woman presenting with a longstanding suprasternal swelling initially suspected to be thyroid-related. The clinical findings, diagnostic evaluation, and surgical management are described.
