Surgical Resection of a Solitary Metachronous Retrocaval Lymph Node Metastasis above the Renal Vein from Rectal Cancer.
Article in Surgical 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
introductionColorectal cancer (CRC) can metastasize to various sites, including the liver, lungs, ovaries, adrenal glands, and lymph nodes. Approximately 1%-2% of patients with CRC develop para-aortic lymph node metastases. Herein, we report a case of surgical resection of an isolated, metachronous, retrocaval lymph node recurrence of rectal cancer above the renal vein. CASE PRESENTATION: A 77-year-old woman was diagnosed with a solitary metachronous retrocaval lymph node metastasis from rectal cancer. The patient underwent robot-assisted laparoscopic abdominoperineal resection. The pathological status was T3, N0, M0, or Stage IIA. No recurrence was observed for 13 months after the initial surgery. CT revealed a 24-mm tumor on the dorsal side of the inferior vena cava (IVC). Tumor resection was performed, including right adrenalectomy, Spiegel lobectomy, and partial resection of the IVC. Pathological findings revealed adenocarcinoma metastasis to a solitary lymph node, which invaded the IVC and Spiegel lobe.
conclusionsThis is the first report of a surgical resection of a retrocaval lymph node metastasis from CRC that invaded both the IVC wall and the liver.
