1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Mediastinal masses are an uncommon and encompass a wide variety of lesions. Their diagnosis and management are often dependent upon the radiographic features, symptoms, and serologies. Germ cell tumors are exceedingly rare in this location. This case report describes a mediastinal mass in a 37-year-old man who presented with occasional chest pain. Pathology revealed an intrapericardial mature cystic teratoma that arose from the adventitia of the aorta. Mature teratomas are most commonly found outside the pericardium. This report describes the exceedingly rare diagnosis of a mature cystic teratoma arising from the aortic adventitia.
