Review in Langenbeck's archives of surgery, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04609137 (EARLY-DIST - Early Drain Removal Versus Standard Drain Management After Distal Pancreatectomy), which is not on this map. Cited by 29 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled it.

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.

Abstract

backgroundPostoperative pancreatic fistula is a significant contributor to morbidity following proximal and distal pancreatic resections. In recent decades, the incidence of fistula has ranged from 2 to 33 %; however, the consistent identification of risk factors has been difficult due to significant variability in the definition of pancreatic fistula. PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to use the highest level evidence available in the literature to present risk factors thus far identified as significant predictors of fistula occurrence. Another endpoint will address those risk factors which have been shown to have a clinical impact on the patient. This review will conclude by discussing comprehensive risk models that interpret the aggregate fistula risk for a patient based on the presence of weighted risk factors.

conclusionThe contemporary surgical literature suggests many risk factors for fistula development, which can be categorized as either endogenous, operative, or perioperative. The advent of the International Study Group of Pancreatic Fistula (ISGPF) scheme created universal definitions for fistula that delineate between biochemical and clinically relevant fistulas. This classification system has allowed for the elucidation of risk factors for clinically impactful fistula and enabled the development of risk scores for predicting fistula occurrence after major pancreatic resections, which are useful in clinical management and comparative research.
