Incidental giant mediastinal lipoma in an asymptomatic adolescent: 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
backgroundMediastinal lipomas are rare benign tumors, the size and location of the tumor presented a diagnostic challenge, as large mediastinal masses can compress adjacent structures, leading to symptoms such as dyspnea, chest pain, or cough. However, our patient remained asymptomatic, and the mass was discovered incidentally during a routine health examination. CASE PRESENTATION: We report a case of giant mediastinal lipoma discovered incidentally in a young asymptomatic male. In this case, we report an unusually large mediastinal lipoma measuring approximately 11.7 × 6.3 cm in an 18-year-old asymptomatic male.
conclusionsWe present the first reported case of a giant mediastinal lipoma that was discovered incidentally in an asymptomatic adolescent.
