Hospital costs of complications after a pancreatoduodenectomy.
Article in HPB : the official journal of the International Hepato Pancreato Biliary Association, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers, 3 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
backgroundA pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) is a highly advanced procedure associated with considerable post-operative complications and substantial costs. In this study the hospital costs associated with complications after PD were assessed.
methodsA retrospective cohort study was conducted on 100 consecutive patients who underwent a pylorus-preserving (PP)PD between January 2012 and July 2013. Per patient, all complications occurring during admission or in the 30-day period after discharge were documented. All hospital costs related to the (PP)PD were defined as the costs of all medical interventions and resources during the hospitalisation period as recorded by the electronic supply tracking system.
resultsThe median hospital costs ranged from €17 482 for a patient without complications to €55 623 for a patient with a post-operative haemorrhage. A post-operative haemorrhage was associated with a 39.6% increase in total hospital costs after adjusting for patient characteristics. Other factors significantly associated with an increase in total hospital costs were: the presence of a malignancy other than a pancreatic adenocarcinoma (29.4% cost increase), the severity grade of a complication (34.3-70.6% increase) and the presence of a post-operative infection (32.4% increase).
conclusionsThis study provides an in-depth analysis of hospital costs and identifies factors that are associated with substantial cost consequences of specific complications occurring after a PD.
