Open repair of iatrogenic complete aortic occlusion during robotic right nephrectomy: a case report.

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
Vascular injury during nephrectomy is a rare but serious complication. We present a unique case of complete occlusion of the infrarenal aorta following a right-sided robotic nephrectomy. We present a 54-year-old male with no known comorbidities who underwent a right robotic radical nephrectomy with retroperitoneal lymph node dissection for a right renal mass. Postoperatively, the patient developed progressive bilateral lower limb weakness and sensory deficits. Clinical examination revealed absent lower limbs pulses bilaterally, with no Doppler signals. Urgent computed tomography (CT) angiography revealed complete occlusion of the infrarenal. Aortic exploration revealed Hemolok clips clamping the aorta. Arterial occlusions may present with delayed signs and require a high index of suspicion for diagnosis. CT angiography is crucial in guiding management. Prosthetic grafting is the preferred method of repair. Here, we highlight the importance of early recognition and intervention. Prompt surgical revascularization can significantly improve prognosis and recovery.
