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

backgroundLaparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy (LPD) has been proven feasible and safe. The artery-first approach emerged as a standard procedure in pancreatic surgery. In this manuscript, we describe both our stepwise, artery-first technique for LPD and methods for accumulating experience during the initial learning stage.

methodThis is a retrospective review of 12 patients who underwent LPD between 2012 and 2015. We classified the first five patients as the early group and the remaining seven as the late group. Here, we present our stepwise procedure for LPD, along with the perioperative results and postoperative prognoses for the two groups.

resultsThe mean operative time for the 12 patients undergoing LPD was 408.3 ± 97.5 min. The average blood loss was 146.7 ± 90.2 mL. The dissection time (T

conclusionArtery-first LPD is a feasible procedure for selected patients and has acceptable results. Using this stepwise procedure, the operative time could be reduced, mainly by reducing the time required for dissection.
