Segmental Resection of the Inferior Vena Cava is Safe and Feasible for Patients with Renal Cell Carcinoma with Tumor Thrombus: A Large-Scale Retrospective Study from a High-Volume Center.
Article in Annals of surgical oncology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
purposeWe aimed to evaluate perioperative and oncological outcomes in renal cell carcinoma (RCC) with tumor thrombus (TT) patients undergoing inferior vena cava (IVC) segmental resection, with comparative analysis stratified by surgical approaches.
methodsA retrospective analysis was conducted on 271 RCC with TT patients. Patients' clinicopathological data were collected. Continuous variable comparisons utilized the Wilcoxon rank-sum test or unpaired t-tests based on their distribution, while categorical variable analyses employed the Chi-square test. Survival outcomes were evaluated through Kaplan-Meier estimation.
resultsOverall, 123 patients (45.4%) experienced IVC segmental resection. Despite exhibiting poorer preoperative renal function, the segmental resection group achieved comparable postoperative estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) as the control group (56.7 vs. 55.7 mL/min/1.73m
conclusionSegmental resection of the IVC represents a safe and technically feasible intervention in RCC patients with TT, demonstrating acceptable perioperative safety in appropriately selected cases. Robot-assisted techniques significantly reduced procedural complexity and optimized perioperative outcomes.
