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

Pancreaticoduodenectomy is a radical treatment for pancreatic head cancer. However, it is sometimes difficult to perform pancreaticoduodenectomy, particularly in patients who have previously undergone esophagectomy with gastric conduit reconstruction. We herein describe a surgical technique for radical pancreaticoduodenectomy with microvascular reconstruction that preserves the gastric conduit. A 72-year-old male with a previous history of esophagectomy and gastric conduit reconstruction for esophageal cancer was referred to our hospital for surgical treatment of advanced pancreatic head cancer. After considering both the cancer curability and preservation of the gastric conduit, we performed a standard pancreaticoduodenectomy, and added a microvascular anastomosis of the gastroduodenal artery to the right gastroepiploic artery. In addition, we also performed reconstruction of the right gastroepiploic vein. This radical pancreaticoduodenectomy with microvascular reconstruction was safely and successfully performed, and it preserved the gastric conduit. The 6-month follow-up showed recurrence-free survival and a good quality of life.
