Carcinoma of the ampulla of Vater with membranous nephropathy: a case report.
Article in The Journal of international medical research, 2025. 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
Nephrotic syndrome can occur secondary to malignancy, and its resolution is sometimes observed following tumor resection. We herein report the case of a 67-year-old Asian man who presented with membranous nephropathy associated with carcinoma of the ampulla of Vater. The patient initially presented with edema, hypoalbuminemia, and significant proteinuria with positive PLA2R antibody. Following surgical removal of the tumor, his urinary protein levels normalized, his serum albumin returned to normal, and the nephrotic syndrome achieved complete remission. This case underscores the importance of screening for secondary causes, such as malignancies, in patients with nephrotic syndrome. For those with malignancy-associated nephrotic syndrome, prompt and targeted treatment of the underlying tumor is critical to avoid missing the window for surgical intervention. This report aims to provide insights into the diagnosis and management of tumor-associated nephrotic syndrome, contributing to a better understanding of this rare clinical entity.
