Primary renal leiomyosarcoma with a tumor thrombus in the inferior vena cava.
Article in IJU case reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
introductionWe report a rare case of primary renal leiomyosarcoma with a tumor thrombus in the inferior vena cava. CASE PRESENTATION: A 54-year-old woman presented with right flank pain and abdominal distension. Physical examination findings were unremarkable. Abdominal computed tomography revealed a heterogeneously enhancing right solid renal mass with a thrombus in the renal vein extending into the inferior vena cava. Magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated a renal tumor with a thrombus about 4 cm below the hepatic vein. Chest computed tomography and bone scintigraphy were negative. The patient underwent right radical nephrectomy and vena cava thrombectomy. Histophathologic evaluation of the resected tumor confirmed the diagnosis of leiomyosarcoma. She underwent no adjuvant therapy. Seven months after surgery, the patient died following a 2-month history of multiple pulmonary and hepatic metastases.
conclusionThis report highlights the importance of considering the possibility of renal leiomyosarcoma invasion to the inferior vena cava, similar to renal cell carcinoma.
