Solitary Hepatic Metastasis of Thymoma: A Case Report.
Article in Surgical case reports, 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
introductionHepatic recurrence of thymomas is uncommon and its surgical treatment has rarely been reported. We report the case of a patient who underwent surgical resection for a solitary liver metastasis of a thymoma. CASE PRESENTATION: A 61-year-old female presented with an abnormal shadow on chest radiography performed during a medical checkup. CT revealed an 85-mm mass in the anterior mediastinum, adjacent to the pericardium and the right upper and right middle lobes of the lung. The patient underwent total thymectomy, wedge resection of the upper and middle lobes of the right lung, and partial resection of the pericardium. Histopathology revealed a type B3 thymoma, classified as stage II according to the Masaoka staging system. An abdominal CT performed 18 months after the primary surgery revealed a 34-mm solid mass in the 6th liver segment. Wedge resection of the hepatic lesion was performed. Pathological examination revealed liver metastasis of a type B3 thymoma. No recurrence was observed during follow-up.
conclusionsThe paucity of data on the surgical treatment of liver metastases from thymomas hinders the establishment of clear evidence-based guidelines for determining the indications for surgical intervention. Surgery appears to be the most appropriate treatment for solitary liver metastasis; however, the most efficacious treatment remains to be elucidated. It is necessary to accumulate more cases of patients who have undergone hepatectomy for liver metastasis of thymoma.
