1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Surgical resection is the mainstay treatment of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) offering a 5-year survival rate of 70-80%. Associated vena cava tumor thrombus adds complexity to surgical planning especially when the thrombus extends above the diaphragm. Those who do not undergo treatment of the primary cancer as well as the associated thrombus have poor mortality outcomes. Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) has been the mainstay for level IV thrombectomy since first introduced. While it has advantages, it is also associated with multisystem failure, hypothermia, and coagulopathy. We sought to describe our experience using a completely transabdominal thrombectomy technique in select patients with level IV tumor thrombus. Patient selection depended upon multidisciplinary coordination between urologic oncology, cardiothoracic surgery, and cardiac anesthesiology. Eleven patients at our institution underwent completely transabdominal level IV inferior vena cava (IVC) tumor thrombectomy
