Novel surgical technique to prevent pancreatic fistula in distal pancreatectomy using a patch of the falciform ligament.
Article in Surgery today, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
purposePancreatic fistula (PF) is a serious complication of pancreatectomy and many techniques and devices have been designed to prevent PF and abdominal bleeding after pancreatectomy. We report a modified technique using a patch of the falciform ligament to prevent PF formation after distal pancreatectomy (DP).
methodOn completion of DP, the main pancreatic duct is sutured. The remnant pancreas is then closely patched and sutured vertically to the falciform ligament using 3-0 polypropylene suture. We compared the results of this method (group 1) with those of the simple method of covering the remnant pancreas with the falciform ligament (group 2).
resultsWe performed this method in 14 patients undergoing DP. The rate of grade B or C PF in group 1 (7.1 %) was lower than that in group 2 (46 %).
conclusionThis is a simple and effective method of preventing PF fistula in DP.
