Huge Intrathoracic Lipoma Occupying the Right Hemithorax.

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 lipomas are rare benign tumours that may attain considerable size before detection. We report a 38-year-old woman in whom a huge intrathoracic lipoma was incidentally identified on chest radiography during preoperative assessment. Computed tomography demonstrated a large, well-circumscribed fat-attenuation lesion occupying nearly the entire right hemithorax, causing near-total lung collapse and mediastinal shift. Image-guided biopsy confirmed a benign lipoma. This case highlights the characteristic imaging features of intrathoracic lipoma and underscores the importance of histopathological confirmation to exclude liposarcoma, even in asymptomatic patients with marked thoracic compression.
