Retroperitoneal Masses Decoded: A Practical Multidisciplinary Diagnostic and Surgical Strategy Integrating Radiology and Pathology.
Review in Cureus, 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
Retroperitoneal masses comprise a heterogeneous group of benign and malignant entities originating from mesenchymal, lymphoid, neurogenic, germ cell, and metastatic tissues. Because of the large potential space of the retroperitoneum, tumors frequently attain significant size before detection and therefore present diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. Management varies widely depending on tumor biology; consequently, inappropriate surgical intervention may lead to major morbidity without therapeutic benefit. This narrative review provides a clinically oriented diagnostic and management framework integrating radiologic assessment, biopsy strategy, operative planning, and pathological interpretation. Retroperitoneal sarcomas require complete macroscopic resection, whereas lymphoma and germ cell tumors are primarily treated medically. Multidisciplinary coordination between surgeons, radiologists, and pathologists is therefore essential to avoid mismanagement and improve patient outcomes.
