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

unlabelledDevelopment of pancreatic fistulas as a result of anastomotic gaps is still a major complication after pancreaticoduodenectomy, and can cause post-operative death. Therefore, safer and more effective methods of anastomosis are needed to avoid leakage and decrease mortality. MATERIALS AND

methodsTwenty domestic dogs with body weights ranging from 15 to 25 kg were used, regardless of gender. A model of common bile duct and pancreatic duct dilatation was surgically prepared in these dogs. Pancreaticobiliary stents combined with magnetic anastomoses (PB-MA), and controls were treated with fibrin glue were studied in terms of and efficacy by measurement of serum amylase, incidence of complications, and survival times.

resultsThe mean time required to create the fibrin glue pancreaticoenterostomy was 9 ± 2.05 min, while the mean time required to create the magnet cholangioenterostomy was 5 ± 0.9 min. The total operative time was 2.7 ± 0.6 h. Eighty percent of the dogs that underwent the operations were still alive for 15 days after the operations and none developed pancreatic fistulas. Examination by macroscopic observation, and hematoxylin and eosin staining of the pathological specimens showed that the anastomoses were completed healed.

conclusionsThe use of a PB-MA in sutureless digestive tract reconstruction for pancreatoduodenectomy resulted in an elimination of pancreatic fistulas, and shortening of the stent removed time. In addition, the procedure is simple to perform, fast, and appears to be safe in this dog model.
