The embryologic footprint of the thymus: study by imaging.
Review in Pediatric radiology, 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
The thymus is one of the primary immune organs in childhood. During embryonic development, the migration of the thymus from the cervical region to the mediastinum coincides with the formation of other structures in the anterior cervical region, which can result in anomalous thymic locations. Among these, the most frequent are cervical remnants of accessory thymic tissue along the normal migration path and thymic extensions that project beyond their usual location. Ectopic locations, which deviate from the normal embryological course, are less common. Radiologists must recognize these variants and their imaging manifestations to avoid misdiagnosis and incorrect interventions. This article aims to review and illustrate, using imaging, the embryology, normal development, anatomy, and the most common locations of thymic tissue outside its normal position in the anterior mediastinum in children.
