A rare case of posterior mediastinal chondrosarcoma: a case report and brief literature review.
Article in Journal of 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
Chondrosarcomas are malignant tumors originating from cartilage and are rarely found in the posterior mediastinum. Imaging is essential for determining their mediastinal origin. Surgical resection with wide margins is the pillar of treatment due to their aggressive nature and relative resistance to chemo- and radiotherapy. We report a rare case of primary chondrosarcoma of the posterior mediastinum involving vertebrae presenting with neuropathic pain in a 62-year-old woman. We describe an initial minimally invasive surgical approach and a subsequent open approach for margin extension, achieving negative margins. Few cases of posterior mediastinal chondrosarcomas with vertebral involvement have been reported, and it is essential to continue documenting similar experiences to narrow the knowledge gap on these tumors, especially in infrequent locations.
