Surgical results of pancreatoduodenectomy in elderly patients.
Article in Surgery today, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
purposeTo assess the safety and feasibility of pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) in elderly patients, we investigated the clinical characteristics of patients aged ≥75 years, who underwent this procedure at our hospital.
methodsBetween November 2005 and December 2010, 84 patients underwent PD at Tokushima University Hospital. We analyzed the clinicopathological data and outcomes after PD in patients aged ≥75 years compared with those in patients <75 years.
resultsThe preoperative characteristics of the elderly group (n = 28) were similar to those of the younger group (n = 56). The hemoglobin and albumin levels were significantly lower in the elderly patients (P < 0.05), who also had a higher rate of preoperative pulmonary dysfunction (P < 0.05). The operation time and intraoperative blood loss did not differ significantly between the groups, but the incidence of pneumonia was higher in the elderly group (P < 0.05). The overall survival rate did not differ significantly between the groups.
conclusionAdvanced age alone does not have an adverse effect on surgical outcomes, including postoperative complications and long-term prognosis. Therefore, PD may be justified for selected elderly patients.
