Bilateral adrenal hemorrhage after pancreaticoduodenectomy.

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
The incidence of bilateral adrenal hemorrhage (BAH) in the postoperative setting is rare, but potentially life threatening. A literature review of postoperative BAH reveals that there is limited data on BAH following abdominal surgery. We present a case of BAH following pancreaticoduodenectomy, which has not been previously documented in the literature. A 70-year-old male patient with no previous history of adrenal disease underwent an uncomplicated pancreaticoduodenectomy and was discharged after a typical postoperative course. He was readmitted with abdominal pain and ileus on POD 8 and a computed tomography (CT) scan was initially unremarkable, but a repeat CT scan on POD 11 demonstrated BAH. He was found to have adrenal insufficiency and was successfully treated with steroids. Clinicians should be aware of the possibility of adrenal hemorrhage postoperatively as it can potentially be a fatal surgical complication. To enhance patient outcomes, early detection and appropriate treatment are essential.
