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

Objective To evaluate the clinical effect of different pancreaticojejunostomy techniques in the treatment of pancreaticoduodenectomy and investigate the applicability of pancreaticojejunostomy without pancreatic duct stenting. Methods From January 2012 to December 2015, 87 patients who underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy were randomly assigned to either Group A (duct-to-mucosa anastomosis with pancreatic duct stenting, n = 43) or Group B (pancreas-jejunum end-to-side anastomosis without stenting (n = 44). The operative duration of pancreaticojejunostomy, postoperative hospital stay, and incidence of postoperative complications were compared between the two methods. Results The operative duration of pancreaticojejunostomy without use of the pancreatic duct stent was significantly shorter in Group B than in Group A (t = 7.137). The postoperative hospital stay was significantly shorter in Group B than in Group A (t = 2.408). The differences in the incidence of postoperative complications such as pancreatic fistula, abdominal bleeding, abdominal infection and delayed gastric emptying were not significantly different between the two groups (χ
