Perioperative Outcomes of Nephrectomy for Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease.
Article in Urology practice, 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
introductionPatients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) frequently require nephrectomy before renal transplant or for clinical symptoms. We encountered no population-based data on perioperative outcomes for nephrectomy in patients with ADPKD, indicating a knowledge gap for patient counseling and quality benchmarking.
methodsWe analyzed the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database (2015-2022) to identify patients undergoing nephrectomy with a diagnosis of ADPKD. The primary outcome was major complications. Multivariable logistic regression was used to identify predictors of outcomes.
resultsThe cohort comprised 823 patients with a median age of 54 years (range 19-87). Preoperative hypertension (79.3%), dialysis (49.2%), and steroid use (44.8%) were common. Major complications occurred in 7.0% of patients. Minimally invasive surgery was associated with lower major complication risk (odds ratio 0.269;
conclusionsMajor complications and death are rare after nephrectomy for ADPKD despite the high rate of dialysis and renal transplantation in this population. When technically feasible, minimally invasive surgery may be beneficial in nephrectomy for ADPKD.
