Quality of life in patients after pancreaticoduodenectomy for chronic pancreatitis.
Article in Journal of gastrointestinal surgery : official journal of the Society for Surgery of the Alimentary Tract, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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
purposePancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) is the most frequently performed resectional procedure in chronic pancreatitis. Only a few studies have evaluated quality of life (QOL) after PD for chronic pancreatitis. This retrospective study examined long-term quality of life and relief of symptoms in a homogenous consecutive cohort of 67 patients undergoing PD for chronic pancreatitis.
methodsA standard QOL questionnaire was sent to 168 patients after PD who had undergone PD for chronic pancreatitis at the University Hospital Dresden between 1994 and 2008. QOL and long-term sequelae were evaluated by the EORTC quality of life questionnaire supplemented with complementary questions. Results were compared to general population data based on large random samples.
resultsMedian follow-up was 69.1 months. Complete response was obtained from 67 (48.5%) patients. Long-term survival of our patients was lower than expected rates based on the Federal Republic of Germany life table analysis (p < 0.001). There was an improved pain control and an increase in weight gain. Overall, QOL scores were slightly inferior to those of the control group. A common problem after PD was onset of diabetes mellitus; however, exocrine function of the pancreas was stable.
conclusionsThis is the largest single-institution experience assessing QOL after PD for chronic pancreatitis. Most patients have QOL scores comparable to those of the control patients and can function independently in daily activities.
