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

The epidemiology of pancreatic diseases is changing. Our aim was to determine the change in indications, frequency, and type of operations being performed for primary pancreatic diseases in the USA. Using the Nationwide Inpatient Sample, all patients aged ≥18 years who underwent pancreatic operations for a primary pancreatic indication between 1998-2011 were identified. Age- and sex-adjusted rates per million adult population were calculated using the 2010 US population as reference. Changes in patient characteristics and outcomes were analyzed. Of 151,454 operations, 82% were resections and 64% were performed for tumors (malignant 52%, benign 12%). Operative rates/million population increased from 41.36 in 1998 to 62.3 in 2011. Population rates increased significantly for distal pancreatectomy, but decreased significantly for drainage procedures (p < 0.05). Additionally, operative rates increased significantly for tumors and cysts/pseudocysts, but decreased significantly for acute pancreatitis (p < 0.05). During this period, mean age, and comorbidity burden for patients undergoing pancreatic operations increased significantly, while their length of hospital stay and in-hospital mortality decreased significantly (p trend <0.05). The number of pancreatic operations performed in the USA is increasing. Although being offered to older patients with more comorbidities, surgeries are being performed with increasing safety and better outcomes.
