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

Introduction: Leiomyosarcoma of the inferior vena cava is associated with poor prognosis. Complete resection is the only curative treatment. We present a patient with this disease in whom cine magnetic resonance imaging was valuable in selecting the surgical strategy and mitigating invasiveness. Case presentation: A 68-year-old woman presented with right-sided abdominal pain. Computed tomography revealed an 86 mm tumor in the right retroperitoneal space that extended into the inferior vena cava and reached superiorly to the right atrium. Percutaneous needle biopsy confirmed leiomyosarcoma. Cine magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated no adhesions between the tumor and the upper segment of inferior vena cava wall, nor with the right atrial wall, indicating resectability. Radical tumor resection was successfully performed without requiring thoracotomy. Conclusion: Cine magnetic resonance imaging appears to be useful in inferior vena cava leiomyosarcoma for evaluating adhesions between the tumor and vessel wall.
