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

backgroundThe incidence of delayed gastric emptying (DGE) is high in patients undergoing distal pancreatectomy with celiac axis en-bloc resection (DP-CAR).

methodsThe medical records of 37 consecutive patients who underwent DP-CAR were evaluated for the incidence of DGE in 23 patients (62 %) with left gastric artery (LGA)-resecting DP-CAR (conventional DP-CAR) compared with 14 patients (38 %) who underwent distal pancreatectomy with resection of the common hepatic artery and splenic artery, with preservation of the LGA (modified DP-CAR) for pancreatic carcinoma. The patients with tumors situated more than 10 mm away from the antecedent branching LGA underwent modified DP-CAR.

resultsAntecedent branching of the LGA was found in 19 patients (51 %) in this series. In the conventional DP-CAR group, the LGA was involved in 20 patients (87.0 %). The International Study Group of Pancreatic Surgery (ISGPS) grades for the conventional DP-CAR group were as follows: no DGE = 43 %, grade A = 26 %, B = 13 %, and C = 17 %. In the modified DP-CAR group, they were as follows: no DGE = 93 %, grade A = 7 %, and grade B/C = 0 %. The R0 rate was higher in the modified DP-CAR group (79 %) than in the conventional DP-CAR group (43 %) (p = 0.048). Univariate analyses revealed resection of LGA, residual tumor status (R1), and clinically relevant (Grade B, C) pancreatic fistula increased the risk of DGE. On multivariate analysis, resection of the LGA was an independent risk factor for increased incidence of DGE.

conclusionModified DP-CAR, when it is feasible, significantly reduces the incidence of DGE in comparison with conventional DP-CAR.
