The Multidisciplinary Role of Echocardiography: From the Thrombus in Inferior Vena Cava to the Diagnosis of Renal Cell Carcinoma.
Article in Journal of cardiovascular echography. 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
Clear renal cell carcinoma (RCC) represents the most prevalent type of kidney cancer, with a tendency for venous migration and extension into the inferior vena cava (IVC) in 4%-10% of the cases. Herein, we present a case report of a patient with acute coronary syndrome and an incidental echocardiographic finding of a thrombus in the IVC, which contributed to the diagnosis of the RCC. A 67-year-old male patient was transferred to our clinic with high troponin levels and electrocardiogram changes suggestive of myocardial ischemia. Coronary angiography revealed occlusion of the right coronary artery and left anterior descending with normal flow through the graft. During the two-dimensional transthoracic echocardiographic examination, in the subcostal view, a thrombotic formation in the IVC was observed. A computed tomography of the abdomen showed an oval mass on the upper pole of the left kidney. The patient underwent an open radical nephrectomy. Pathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of clear RCC. The patient consulted the oncology department, where no specific oncological therapy was indicated. After a 2-year follow-up, ultrasound of the abdomen was normal, without relapse or metastatic dissemination of the RCC. Detailed echocardiographic assessment can reveal pathological changes even in the surrounding structures, which helps in the timely diagnosis and initiation of treatment in the early stages of the disease.
