Two-Stage Tumor Resection for Locally Advanced Renal Cell Carcinoma With Level IV Tumor Thrombus and Pulmonary Embolism: 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. 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
Introduction: We report a case of renal cell carcinoma with an inferior vena cava tumor thrombus extending into the right atrium and pulmonary embolism, treated using a staged surgical approach. Case Presentation: A man in his 60s was diagnosed with left clear cell renal cell carcinoma with a tumor thrombus extending to the right atrium, posing a risk of sudden death. Given the high perioperative risk, complete resection in a single session was infeasible. Preoperative administration of a tyrosine kinase inhibitor showed limited effectiveness, and the patient developed pulmonary embolism. An initial thoracotomy was performed to urgently remove the pulmonary artery and right atrial thrombus, along with as much infra-diaphragmatic thrombus as feasible. This was followed by open radical nephrectomy and abdominal inferior vena cava thrombectomy. Conclusion: The staged approach enabled curative nephrectomy despite the presence of tumor thrombus and pulmonary embolism.
