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
We report a case of leiomyosarcoma of the inferior vena cava (IVC) treated with liver resection, autotransplantation, and IVC reconstruction using a Dacron graft. A 47-year-old female presented with mild to moderate lower extremity edema and weakness. Physical examination revealed no abdominal or pelvic abnormalities. However, further evaluation confirmed a tumor in the suprarenal IVC, extending to the hepatic veins, with thrombus formation in the suprahepatic IVC. During surgery, the tumor was confirmed to originate from the IVC. Given its proximity to the hepatic veins, an ex vivo liver resection and autotransplantation (ELRA) were performed, followed by IVC reconstruction using a Dacron graft via the piggyback technique. The patient experienced no postoperative complications. Although liver resection and autotransplantation are considered extremely aggressive procedures, they can be viable options in cases where complete surgical resection is not feasible using standard techniques.
