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

introductionIn a distal pancreatectomy combined with a distal gastrectomy, the splenic artery and vein must be conserved. However, it is not easy in pure laparoscopic surgery. We performed a hand-assisted laparoscopic spleen-preserving distal pancreatectomy (HALS-SPDP) combined with a laparoscopic distal gastrectomy (LDG) for the treatment of a pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor (NET) with early gastric cancer. PRESENTATION OF CASE: A 67-year-old male was hospitalized with no complaint. He was diagnosed with a pancreatic tail tumor (1.5cm in diameter) and early gastric cancer. He had undergone an endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). The pathohistology of the dissected tissue demonstrated that the histology was moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma, and the depth of the gastric cancer was pT1b2 (submucosal layer ∼1000μm). First, a pancreatectomy was performed extracorporeally under direct vision after detaching the spleen and the distal pancreas from the retroperitoneum under a hand-assisted laparoscopy. After the distal pancreatectomy, an LDG with a D1 lymphadenectomy was performed intracorporeally. The postoperative course was not eventful. Six months after surgery, an enhanced computed tomography (CT) scan revealed the patency of the splenic artery.

conclusionAn HALS-SPDP combined with an LDG is beneficial and safe for the patients who have a pancreatic benign or low-grade malignant tumor and gastric cancer.
