Internal High Echoes Can Suggest the Possible Resection of Ovarian Vein Leiomyosarcoma: A Case Report.
Article in IJU case reports, 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
Introduction: Leiomyosarcomas of ovarian veins often affect the IVC, the duodenum, and kidneys. Therefore, the resectability of the leiomyosarcomas highly depends on the presence or extent of their invasion to the surrounding organs. Case Presentation: A 55-year-old woman with a retroperitoneal mass on CT was referred to our hospital. CT and MRI showed a lobulated large mass with broad contact with the duodenum. EUS showed focal internal high echoes in the tumor areas adjacent to the duodenum. After obtaining the pathological diagnosis of leiomyosarcoma, the tumor was successfully removed without duodenum resection. Post-operative pathological findings confirmed the absence of direct leiomyosarcoma invasion to the duodenum and the sparse atypical cells with edematous background in the high internal echo areas. Conclusions: Surgeons should note that internal high echoes in the tumor areas adjacent to the duodenum can be an important predictor of possible resection of the retroperitoneal tumors.
