A mediastinal eosinophilic adenoma misdiagnosed as an esophageal stromal tumor: A case report.
Article in Journal of cardiothoracic surgery, 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
backgroundEosinophilic adenoma, a benign tumor characterized by eosinophilic cell proliferation, typically arises in endocrine organs such as the thyroid or parathyroid glands. Ectopic parathyroid eosinophilic adenoma is rare and may mimic other mediastinal pathologies, leading to diagnostic challenges. CASE PRESENTATION: We present a case of a 54-year-old woman with a one-year history of dysphagia. Initial imaging and endoscopic studies suggested an esophageal stromal tumor. Thoracoscopic resection revealed a posterior mediastinal mass, later confirmed as an ectopic parathyroid eosinophilic adenoma through histopathological and immunohistochemical analysis.
conclusionsThis case underscores the importance of integrating imaging, laboratory tests, and histopathology for accurate diagnosis of mediastinal masses. Minimally invasive thoracoscopic surgery proved effective for resection, highlighting the need for tailored therapeutic approaches. In order to avoid such misdiagnosis, clinicians should make a definite pathological diagnosis before surgery as much as possible.
