A Case of Pancreatic Fistula Following Left Nephrectomy: A Rare Complication.
Article in Cureus, 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
Pancreatic fistula is a rare but serious complication that may arise following surgery, particularly in oncological procedures. Intraoperative pancreatic injury is an infrequent complication associated with left nephrectomy. We present the case of a 77-year-old male patient who underwent a left nephrectomy for a rare renal pelvis tumor, specifically sarcomatoid urothelial carcinoma. After two consecutive laparotomies, the patient developed a pancreatic fistula, as evidenced by excessive left drain output and elevated amylase levels in the collected fluid. The fistula was managed effectively with subcutaneous somatostatin analog (Sandostatin) injections, parenteral nutrition, and a strict nothing by mouth (NPO) regimen. This case underscores the potential risk of pancreatic fistula following radical nephrectomy, highlighting the importance of early diagnosis and appropriate management strategies. Unfortunately, the patient's recovery was complicated by intra-abdominal bleeding and septic shock, which ultimately led to his death.
