Gallbladder cancer causing superior vena cava syndrome treated by palliative surgery: A case report.
Article in SAGE open medical case reports, 2026. 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
Superior vena cava syndrome (SVCS) caused by gallbladder cancer is extremely rare, with tumor thrombus potentially leading to right atrial obstruction or fatal pulmonary embolism. This report presents a 56-year-old female with gallbladder cancer who developed SVCS due to tumor metastasis. The patient presented with cough, hoarseness, dyspnea, headache, and facial-cervical swelling. Contrast-enhanced chest computed tomography confirmed tumor thrombi in the left brachiocephalic vein, right brachiocephalic vein, and superior vena cava (SVC). Under cardiopulmonary bypass, SVC thrombectomy was performed, revealing two massive thrombi (20 × 80 mm, 10 × 80 mm). At the 11-month follow-up, the patient showed good recovery without thrombus-related complications. Surgical intervention directly relieved mechanical obstruction caused by tumor or thrombus, demonstrating its crucial role in palliating life-threatening obstruction and improving quality of life in advanced cancer with SVCS.
