Aggressive surgical approach with major vascular resection for retroperitoneal sarcomas.
Article in PloS one, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundEn bloc resection of adjacent structures, including major vessels, is often required to achieve negative margins in retroperitoneal sarcoma (RPS). However, the effect of vascular involvement and different reconstruction techniques in patients undergoing vascular resection remains unclear. This study investigated the morbidity, mortality, and long-term survival of patients who underwent an aggressive surgical approach with vascular resection for RPS.
methodsWe analyzed a prospectively maintained database of patients who underwent surgical resection (with or without vascular resection) for RPS between 2015 and 2020. The primary endpoint was long-term overall survival (OS).
findingsThe study population comprised 252 patients. Postoperative morbidity, mortality, and OS did not differ significantly between the vascular and no vascular resection groups. Among patients with vascular involvement, those who underwent aggressive surgical approach with vascular resection had a significantly higher OS (66.3 months vs. 25.6 months) compared to those who underwent palliative resection, without an increase in mortality or complication rate. No significant differences were observed in postoperative morbidity, 30-day mortality, or estimated median OS between patients who underwent primary repair and reconstruction.
conclusionsIn patients with RPS with vascular involvement, an aggressive surgical approach with vascular resection achieved optimal clinical outcomes. Vascular reconstruction techniques had no impact on clinical outcomes.
