A Case of Renal Artery Thrombosis With Concurrent Adrenal Hemorrhage in Polycythemia Vera.
Article in Cureus, 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
Polycythemia vera (PV) is a rare myeloproliferative neoplasm characterized by the clonal proliferation of hematopoietic stem cells, leading to an elevated red blood cell mass. This hyperproliferative state increases blood viscosity and predisposes patients to thrombotic events, which are a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in PV. The diagnosis of PV is typically confirmed through elevated hemoglobin or hematocrit levels, low serum erythropoietin, and the presence of the Janus kinase 2 (JAK2) mutation. Common complications include venous and arterial thromboses, hemorrhage, and transformation to myelofibrosis or acute leukemia. A 68-year-old female with a history of PV and chronic kidney disease (CKD) presented with uremic symptoms in the form of malaise and nausea. Laboratory investigations indicated acute kidney injury (AKI) and hyperkalemia. Imaging evaluation of renal US Doppler revealed renal artery thrombosis and an incidental adrenal hemorrhage. The patient was managed with intravenous heparin and did not receive thrombolytics or thrombectomy. Her renal function did not improve, necessitating the initiation of hemodialysis (HD) during hospitalization. Over the course of the next few weeks, her renal parameters improved and she managed to be discharged from dialysis. The primary goal of this study was to highlight a rare presentation of renal artery thrombosis secondary to polycythemia vera (PV) and discuss the complexities involved in managing the underlying disease and its thrombotic complication, particularly in the presence of concomitant bleeding. Effective management of PV-related thrombosis requires a delicate balance between anticoagulation to prevent further thrombotic events while carefully addressing the risk of hemorrhage.
