Hepatocellular Carcinoma with Tumor Thrombus Extending from the Portal Vein to the Right Atrium.
Article in Cureus, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common malignant tumors. Tumor thrombus formation in advanced HCC stages is common and usually involves the hepatic or portal veins. The formation of tumor thrombus is considered a poor prognostic factor. Herein, we report a rare case wherein the thrombus extended to the inferior vena cava (IVC) reaching the right atrium without affecting the hemodynamic status. This is a 59-year-old male who presented with melena. He was found to have grade 3 esophageal varices with findings suggestive of recent bleeding associated with a large amount of blood in the gastric body that required banding. Computed tomography (CT) of the abdomen and pelvis showed multiple liver masses with an intraluminal IVC mass extending from the hepatic vein into the right atrium. A CT scan of the chest confirmed the presence of a tumor thrombus in the IVC extending to the right atrium. The patient declines surgical intervention and he was discharged. Unfortunately, he passed after a short period of time. In conclusion, tumor thrombus formation is common in HCC. However, expansion of the thrombus to IVC and right atrium is rare and indicates poor prognosis.
