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

Laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy (LDP) including laparoscopic distal pancreatosplenectomy has rapidly developed as a minimally invasive surgery. LDP is mainly indicated for benign disease and low-grade malignancy during the initial period. In recent years, an increasing number of LDPs for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) have been reported. However, the benefits of LPD for PDAC, especially in view of the oncological benefits, are unclear and remain controversial. In this review of the literature, we note that LDP has been found to be a technically feasible and safe surgical procedure in selected patients and that LDP has the advantages expected of a minimally invasive surgery. In addition, LDP has oncological feasibility for PDAC in light of its favorable rate of R0 resection and lymph node harvest compared to conventional laparotomy. Large randomized and controlled prospective studies are needed to determine the clinical advantages of LDP for left-sided PDAC.
