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

introductionSegmental duodenal resections (DR) have been increasingly performed for the treatment of primary duodenal tumours. The aim of the study is to review the indications for, clinical and operative details, and outcomes of patients undergoing elective DR. MATERIAL AND

methodsWe retrospectively reviewed all patients who underwent elective segmental DR for the treatment of primary duodenal tumours, at a single institution between January 2007 and December 2013. Demographic data, clinical presentation, preoperative investigations, operative details, postoperative complications/mortality and histopathological results were recorded.

resultsIn the study period, 11 duodenal resections were performed (7 male, median age 61 years). Thirty-six percent of the patients presented with anaemia. Surgical resection included two or more segments in seven patients. The most frequently resected part of the duodenum was segment 3 (n = 7). Median operative time was 191 min and blood loss was 675 ml. End-to-end and end-to-side anastomoses were performed in equal numbers. The pathology of resected specimens included adenocarcinoma (n = 4), gastrointestinal stromal tumour (GIST) (n = 1), adenoma (n = 5) and lymphoma (n = 1). Median hospital stay was 14 days. Overall, 30-day morbidity rate was 82% (78% Clavien 2 or less).

conclusionsSegmental duodenal resection is a safe and effective surgical technique for the resection of primary duodenal tumours.
