Resection of a Giant Middle Mediastinal Tumor Using a Transaortopulmonary Arterial Approach.
Article in Annals of thoracic surgery short reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Surgical approaches for giant middle mediastinal tumors are challenging owing to the surrounding great vessels and vital organs. Here, we report the resection of a giant middle mediastinal tumor with feeding vessels from the coronary artery causing exertional dyspnea. Surgical resection involved a clamshell incision and temporary transection of the ascending aorta and right pulmonary artery under cardiopulmonary bypass to achieve optimal visualization. The tumor, diagnosed as unicentric Castleman disease, was safely excised with good postoperative outcomes. This method-the transaortopulmonary arterial approach-offers a favorable surgical tool for giant mediastinal tumors.
