Hepatic vena cava syndrome: a case report and literature review.
Article in Oxford medical case reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundHepatic vena cava syndrome (HVCS) is an uncommon condition, with no prior reports from the Gulf area. In regions with limited resources, where this disease is found, there is a lack of data due to underdiagnosis. HVCS results from recurrent bacterial thrombophlebitis of the hepatic portion of the inferior vena cava (IVC), causing intimal thickening and obstruction, eventually leading to complications like liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. CASE PRESENTATION: A 32-year-old Afghan refugee lady, presented with progressive abdominal distention. Initial investigations showed anemia, splenomegaly, and massive ascites. Further investigations revealed cirrhotic liver, varices, and a stenotic segment of the IVC. She was diagnosed with HVCS, underwent IVC stenting, and commenced on clopidogrel and dabigatran. Conclusion Often misdiagnosed, HVCS requires a high index of suspicion and should be considered in patients with liver cirrhosis with low socioeconomic backgrounds. Early diagnosis can prevent liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma.
