1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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: Due to the location of paragangliomas (PGLs) behind the retrohepatic segment of inferior vena cava (IVC), it is difficult to expose and resect the tumor. Case presentation: A tumor measuring 50×45×62cm behind the retrohepatic portion of IVC was found in a 51-year-old female with hypertention and diabetes mellitus. Although the test for catecholamines revealed no signs of disease, the enhanced computed tomography (CT) scan, somatostatin receptor imaging and iodine-131-labeled metaiiodo-benzylguanidine ( Conclusions: This case demonstrates that laparoscopic surgery may be helpful in tumor accessibility, and could be used in the appropriate cases to remove PGLs that are located behind the retrohepatic segment of the IVC.
