Primary soft tissue chondroma of the anterior mediastinum: A case report and comprehensive literature review.
Article in Experimental and therapeutic medicine, 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
Anterior mediastinal soft tissue chondroma is an exceedingly rare benign tumor that poses a diagnostic challenge due to its overlapping imaging features with more common mediastinal masses. Accurate diagnosis is crucial to ensure appropriate surgical management and avoid overtreatment of benign lesions. In the present case, a 36-year-old asymptomatic woman presented with a calcified anterior mediastinal mass incidentally detected on a routine chest computed tomography. Imaging showed a well-circumscribed, lobulated mass with punctate calcifications, suggestive of a benign etiology. The mass was resected and histopathological evaluation confirmed a diagnosis of soft tissue chondroma. Complete surgical resection was performed via median sternotomy without complications. The patient had an uneventful recovery and remained disease-free at the 6-month follow-up. This case emphasizes the need to consider anterior mediastinal soft tissue chondromas in the differential diagnosis of calcified mediastinal masses.
