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

Surgical resection for pancreatic and periampullary cancer has evolved over several decades. The postoperative mortality for these resections has declined to less than 5 %. However, morbidity associated with these resections is still considerable. Various technical modifications like pylorus preservation, reconstruction techniques and methods to perform pancreaticoenteric anastomosis have been suggested to improve postoperative outcomes after pancreaticoduodenectomy. Surgical modifications to improve oncological clearance and decrease fistula rates after distal pancreatic resections have also been suggested. Dilemma still exists whether interventions like pancreatic duct stents, octreotide and drains help to improve postoperative outcomes. The role of extended lymph node dissection and extended resections for pancreatic and periampullary cancer is still controversial, as is the management of borderline resectable pancreatic cancer. In this review, we discuss the literature pertaining to various surgical aspects of pancreatic and periampullary carcinoma.
