Laparoscopic left pancreatectomy: early results after 115 consecutive patients.
Article in Surgical endoscopy, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
introductionDespite its proven feasibility and good results, the use of laparoscopy in left-sided pancreatic lesions is considered a challenging procedure, and therefore, its utilization is still low. In this paper, we aim to describe the early outcomes obtained after laparoscopic left pancreatectomies performed over 15 years. PATIENTS AND
methodsFrom 1997 until 2014, 115 consecutive patients underwent laparoscopic left pancreatectomy at CHU Bordeaux and Centre Hépato-Biliaire, which were prospectively recorded in a database. An analysis of this database was performed in order to evaluate preoperative, intraoperative and immediate postoperative outcomes.
resultsLaparoscopic left pancreatectomy with spleen conservation was performed in 64 patients (55.7 %). The median operative time was 220 min, and median blood loss was 200 ml. Conversion to open surgery was made in 15 (13 %) patients. Median postoperative hospital stay was 11 days, and overall postoperative complications occurred in 59 patients (51.3 %). Of these, 25.4 % were Clavien-Dindo grade III and above. The rate of clinical PF was 11.3 %. Three of the 64 patients with splenic preservation (4.7 %) developed a splenic infarction, and one of them needed splenectomy.
conclusionsResults obtained after a long series of laparoscopic left pancreatectomy confirm its favorable outcomes and its association with a low postoperative morbidity rate.
