Retroperitoneal Soft Tissue Sarcoma and Kidney Autotransplantation: A Case Report.
Article in Clinical case reports, 2025. 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
Soft tissue sarcomas (STSs) are rare malignancies, with retroperitoneal soft tissue sarcoma (RPS) constituting 10%-15% of all STSs. RPS often presents late due to minimal early symptoms, typically requiring complete en-bloc resection for optimal survival outcomes. Achieving radical resection can be challenging due to the tumor's proximity to vital organs. In cases where the kidney is involved, a nephrectomy can lead to significant morbidity, especially in patients with pre-existing renal impairment. Kidney autotransplantation offers a unique solution by preserving renal function in these cases, avoiding the need for dialysis and immunosuppressive therapy. This case report presents a 61-year-old female with a large RPS encasing her only functioning kidney. After unsuccessful neoadjuvant chemotherapy, she underwent an en-bloc resection and subsequent autotransplantation. Postoperatively, she experienced complications such as pneumonia and bowel obstruction due to poor clinical status, but after recovery, she has remained disease-free at 1-year follow-up. This case illustrates the potential of kidney autotransplantation in selected cases to prevent treatment-induced renal failure. Although the risk of recurrence is relevant, autotransplantation provides an option for preserving renal function while allowing for curative resection, with careful consideration of the balance between recurrence risk and morbidity.
