Resection of primary left renal vein leiomyosarcoma with renal preservation following an unusual clinical presentation.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2024. 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
An elderly man was referred to vascular surgery on incidental discovery of a left retroperitoneal mass ultimately found to be of left renal vein (LRV) origin. He initially presented with recurring lower back pain. CT of the abdomen/pelvis showed a 6.0×5.5 cm lobulated retroperitoneal mass anterior to the infrarenal aorta. Resection of the mass necessitated a multidisciplinary team consisting of medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, urologists and vascular surgeons. In efforts to obtain an R0 margin, en-bloc resection of the LRV from its confluence with the inferior vena cava (IVC) was necessary. A primary repair of the IVC was performed with preservation of the left kidney. The patient's back pain has since resolved after the surgery. A literature search found IVC reconstructions to be safe and effective in the removal of vascular leiomyosarcomas.
