Traumatic Injury and Complete Ligation of the Inferior Vena Cava: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2023. 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
This case report describes an occurrence of a traumatic injury to the inferior vena cava (IVC) secondary to penetrating trauma. A 37-year-old male patient presented to the emergency department (ED) after sustaining a stab wound to the mid back. The patient was transferred directly to the operating theatre (OT) and underwent an emergency exploratory laparotomy. A through-and-through IVC injury at the level of the entry to the liver bed was identified. Surgical repair was attempted but failed, followed by eventual IVC ligation. The patient was shifted to the intensive care unit postoperatively for damage control resuscitation while the abdomen was temporarily closed. He later required a re-look procedure for definitive treatment, after which he could mobilize without assistance and return home. This case highlights the different surgical approaches to an IVC injury and examines postoperative complications and their management.
