Presentation of Superior Vena Cava Syndrome as a Consequence of Fibrosing Mediastinitis.
Article in Cureus, 2026. 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
Fibrosing mediastinitis (FM) is a rare inflammatory reaction within the mediastinum that causes diffuse fibrosis and can lead to compression of vascular structures in the thoracic and cervical regions. While typically benign and indolent, significant progression can lead to obstruction of vital organs, causing conditions like superior vena cava (SVC) syndrome, pulmonary hypertension, and potentially fatal right-sided heart failure. The clinical presentation often mimics malignancy, which necessitates exclusion. FM is a rare condition, with idiopathic cases being even rarer. While histoplasmosis or tuberculosis infections are common causes of FM in the US, idiopathic forms such as IgG4-related FM can also occur.
