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

backgroundPancreatic fistula (PF) is one of the most important complications of pancreatic surgery. The aims of this study were to establish a PF model in rats and to investigate the efficacy of our new method for preventing PF, which utilizes myoblast sheets made using tissue engineering techniques.

methodsTo establish a PF model, the rats underwent transection of each of four pancreatic ducts: the gastric, duodenal, common, and splenic ducts, respectively. Their ascitic amylase and lipase levels were then measured. To investigate the efficacy of myoblast sheets at preventing PF, a myoblast sheet was attached to the pancreatic stump in the PF models. The levels of amylase and lipase in both serum and ascites were then measured, and surgical specimens were investigated pathologically.

resultsThe new PF model established by transecting the splenic duct in rats may prove very useful. There were no significant differences in serum amylase and lipase levels between the myoblast sheet (+) group and the sheet (-) group. However, there were significant differences in ascitic amylase and lipase levels between the two groups (p < 0.05). Among the pathological findings, the number of inflammatory cells in the myoblast sheet group was smaller than that in the control group. In addition, the presence of the myoblast sheets on the surface of the pancreatic stump was confirmed by immunofluorescence staining.

conclusionOur data demonstrate the efficacy of the new rat model of PF presented herein, and that it might be possible to prevent PF using myoblast sheets.
