Predictive factors and a nomogram for hemodynamic instability during operation in patients with pheochromocytomas and paragangliomas.
Article in Surgical endoscopy, 2026. 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
backgroundIntraoperative hemodynamic instability (HDI) remains a significant challenge during surgery for pheochromocytomas and paragangliomas (PPGLs), despite preoperative preparation. Identifying predictive factors is crucial for risk stratification and management optimization.
methodsThis retrospective study analyzed 203 PPGLs patients undergoing surgery at Qilu Hospital of Shandong University (July 2019-February 2025). HDI was defined as systolic blood pressure ≥ 160 mmHg or mean arterial pressure < 60 mmHg during surgery. Patient demographics, clinical characteristics, tumor features (including maximum diameter measured on CT), preoperative catecholamine/metabolite levels, and preoperative preparation adequacy (based on BP/HR records) were evaluated. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression identified independent predictors. A predictive nomogram was constructed using significant factors and validated internally.
resultsAmong 203 patients, 133 (65.5%) experienced intraoperative HDI. Multivariate analysis identified four independent preoperative predictors: maximum tumor diameter > 49.5 mm (odds ratio (OR) = 3.169, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.531-6.562, P = 0.002), preoperative hypertension history (OR = 2.636, 95% CI: 1.293-5.375, P = 0.008), elevated plasma adrenaline level (OR = 4.803, 95% CI: 1.977-11.666, P = 0.001), and inadequate preoperative preparation (OR = 0.251 for adequacy, 95% CI: 0.107-0.590, P = 0.002). A nomogram incorporating these factors demonstrated good discrimination (AUC = 0.823, 95% CI: 0.761-0.886), significantly outperforming individual factors, and good calibration (Hosmer-Lemeshow p = 0.218). Decision curve analysis confirmed clinical utility.
conclusionMaximum tumor diameter > 49.5 mm, preoperative hypertension history, elevated plasma adrenaline, and inadequate preoperative preparation are key independent predictors of intraoperative HDI in PPGL surgery. The developed nomogram effectively integrates these factors to provide personalized preoperative risk assessment, aiding clinicians in identifying high-risk patients for intensified management strategies.
