Case report: A hybrid technique for a safe nephrectomy in a giant kidney angiomyolipoma.
Article in Frontiers in surgery, 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
Background: Giant angiomyolipoma is usually associated with genetic syndromes and complications (spontaneous rupture and bleeding, hematuria, hypertension) and mass-related symptoms (flank and abdominal pain). Case presentation: We present a case of a 20-year-old woman suffering from tuberous sclerosis who was referred to our hospital with a giant angiomyolipoma causing abdominal pain. A contrast-enhanced computed tomography showed a left angiomyolipoma, measuring 28 cm × 17 cm × 27 cm. After a multidisciplinary team discussion, the patient was submitted for a nephrectomy. Percutaneous temporary occlusion of the main renal artery was achieved through an endovascular balloon catheter. Through the balloon catheter guidewire, 2,500 IU of heparin was infused to reduce the risk of tumor vein thrombosis and venous embolism. This allowed a safe kidney manipulation through a left thoracoabdominal approach. The postoperative course was uneventful. Pathology showed a 40 cm × 30 cm × 9 cm and 10 kg AML. One year after surgery, the patient is on follow-up, and her estimated glomerular filtration is 120.5 ml/min/1.73 m Conclusion: The present case showed that the endovascular control of the main renal artery could be considered a useful approach to safely managing huge renal masses when renal hilar control is expected to be very difficult.
