Giant leiomyosarcoma of the inferior vena cava necessitating extended liver resection: A case report and review of the literature.

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
Leiomyosarcoma of the inferior vena cava (IVC) is a rare malignant tumour of smooth muscle origin. It commonly presents with non-specific symptoms including abdominal pain, distention, and lower extremity edema. Surgical resection with macroscopically clear margins is the only potential curative treatment for the disease. Here we present the case of a previously healthy 38-year-old woman with a subacute one-month increase of a four-year slowly progressive right sided abdominal pain and back pain. Imaging revealed a 14.5x12x15cm mass in the right hepatic lobe causing mass effect on adjacent abdominal and retroperitoneal organs, and involving the retrohepatic IVC. En-bloc resection of the right hemi-liver, most of segment four, the caudate lobe, and approximately a 10 cm section of the retrohepatic IVC, along with IVC reconstruction, was performed. Histologic examination revealed the diagnosis of a high grade leiomyosarcoma.
