Intrathoracic Goitre Extending Into the Posterior Mediastinum: 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
Intrathoracic goitre (ITG) with posterior mediastinal extension is rare and may present with compressive respiratory symptoms. We report a 55-year-old woman with long-standing shortness of breath and a history of thyroid surgery. Examination revealed only minimal cervical swelling, but imaging demonstrated a large posterior mediastinal mass consistent with an ITG. The mass was successfully excised through a combined cervical and sternotomy approach, and the patient made an uneventful recovery. This case underscores the need to consider ITG in patients with unexplained respiratory symptoms even when cervical findings are minimal, and it highlights the value of imaging and timely surgical intervention in preventing complications.
