Cytoreductive surgery for giant locally advanced intra-abdominal tumors in Uganda.
Article in Journal of surgical case reports, 2022. 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
Cytoreductive surgery is removal of tumor as much as possible when complete resection is impossible because of advanced disease. It is a management option for giant intra-abdominal tumors with pressure symptoms. We present three patients who underwent cytoreductive surgery for giant intra-abdominal tumors between May 2019 and November 2021. Patient 1 had a gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) involving stomach, spleen and transverse colon. En bloc resection of the GIST with the involved viscera was done. Patient 2 had a liposarcoma measuring 25.8 × 19.6 × 15.3 cm infiltrating the stomach, spleen and the left hemidiaphragm. Involved viscera and liposarcoma were resected en bloc. Patient 3 had a liposarcoma measuring 40 × 35 × 12 cm and encasing the left ureter. Mass was excised together with part of the left ureter and left ureter reconstructed. Giant intra-abdominal tumors are rare. Involvement of adjacent structures may necessitate multivisceral resections with or without organ reconstruction.
