Balancing surgical innovation with cost and efficiency.
Article in Canadian journal of surgery. Journal canadien de chirurgie, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
The standard approach to neoplasia of the pancreatic head is pancreaticoduodenectomy, otherwise known as the Whipple procedure. Traditionally, this operation is performed through an open laparotomy incision. In high-volume centres, and when performed by appropriately qualified surgeons, the Whipple procedure is safe and effective management for diseases of the pancreatic head. Still, this operation remains one of the most complex abdominal procedures. With the proliferation of minimally invasive surgery, more complex operations are being performed using laparoscopy and other minimal access techniques. A group from McGill University and the Montreal Jewish General Hospital have prospectively evaluated their experience with minimally invasive pancreaticoduodenectomy and have compared this experience to the open approach. This is the first comparative series of its kind from Canada.
