Acute Scrotal Edema as the Initial Presentation of Inferior Vena Cava Stenosis With Secondary Thrombosis After Right Hepatectomy: A Case Report.
Article 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
Inferior vena cava (IVC) thrombosis is a rare complication after major hepatectomy. Delayed diagnosis may result in venous congestion, acute kidney injury, and other serious complications. A 57-year-old man underwent right hepatectomy for perihilar cholangiocarcinoma. On the second postoperative day, he developed oliguria, worsening renal function, and sudden scrotal swelling. Doppler ultrasonography showed preserved testicular perfusion with diffuse scrotal edema. CT angiography demonstrated partial thrombosis of the IVC just below the hepatic venous confluence, causing marked narrowing of venous flow. Emergency reoperation revealed mechanical stenosis of the IVC adjacent to the right hepatic vein stump. Thrombectomy was performed, and the narrowed segment was enlarged using an autologous parietal peritoneal patch. Renal function improved after surgery, urine output increased, and the scrotal edema resolved completely during follow-up. Sudden scrotal edema after hepatectomy may be the first clinical sign of IVC obstruction. Early imaging and prompt surgical treatment can prevent permanent renal and vascular complications.
