1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

objectivesThis study evaluates the incidence and clinical features and associated risk factors of delayed gastric emptying (DGE) after pancreaticoduodenectomy, employing the International Study Group of Pancreatic Surgery (ISGPS) consensus definition.

methodsDemographic, pathological and surgical details for 260 consecutive patients who underwent pylorus-preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy at a single institution were analysed using univariate and multivariate models.

resultsPostoperative complications occurred in 108 (41.5%) and DGE was diagnosed in 36 (13.8%) of 260 patients. Among the 36 DGE patients, 16 had grade A, 18 grade B and two grade C DGE. Resumption of a solid diet (P < 0.001), time to passage of stool (P= 0.002) and hospital discharge (P < 0.001) occurred later in DGE patients. The need for total parenteral nutrition was significantly higher in DGE grade B/C patients (P < 0.001). In the univariate analysis, abdominal collections (P≤ 0.001), pancreatic fistula (PF) grades B and C (P < 0.001), biliary fistula (P= 0.002), pulmonary complications (P < 0.001) and sepsis (P= 0.002) were associated with DGE. Only abdominal collections (P= 0.009), PF grade B/C (P < 0.001) and sepsis (P= 0.024) were associated with clinically relevant DGE. In the multivariate analysis, PF grade B/C (P= 0.004) and biliary fistula (P= 0.039) were independent risk factors for DGE.

conclusionsThe ISGPS classification and grading systems correlate well with the clinical course of DGE and are feasible for patient management. The principal risk factors for DGE seem to be pancreatic and biliary fistulas.
