Acute bilateral renal infarction after left upper pulmonary lobectomy: a case report.
Article in General thoracic and cardiovascular surgery cases, 2023. 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
backgroundLeft upper lobectomy (LUL) is considered a risk factor for thrombus formation in the pulmonary vein stump compared with other lobectomies, and it occurs in 11.7-13.5% of cases. Although cerebral infarction after LUL has been reported in many articles, reports of bilateral renal infarction after lobectomy are rare. CASE PRESENTATION: A 70-year-old male patient was admitted to our hospital with a diagnosis of lung cancer. The nodule's diameter was 2.5 cm on computed tomography, and it was diagnosed as a non-small cell lung carcinoma by a bronchoscopic biopsy. The clinical stage was cT1c N0M0 (c-stageIA3). The patient underwent thoracoscopic LUL and systemic lymph node dissection. No complications were observed during the operation, and the immediate postoperative period was uneventful until postoperative day 3. On postoperative day 4, he experienced fever, abdominal pain, and nausea, which spontaneously resolved. Laboratory data showed an elevated white blood cell count, and elevated serum lactate dehydrogenase and creatinine concentrations. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography from the thorax to the pelvic cavity showed a partial defect of the bilateral kidneys. We diagnosed the patient with bilateral renal infarction.
conclusionsBilateral renal infarction after lobectomy is a rare and serious condition, which should be diagnosed as early as possible. Since all cases of reported renal infarctions occurred after LUL, special attention should be paid to postoperative management after performing LUL.
