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

backgroundThe treatment of pancreatic stump is a critical step of pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) because leaks from this anastomosis incur major morbidity and mortality. We describe the technical details of a modified end-to-side pancreatojejunostomy (mPJ), and report on the outcome of the first 100 patients.

methodsFrom October 2008 to June 2017, 424 pancreatic resections were performed, of which 203 were PD. The mPJ was introduced in November 2010 and used in 100 consecutive patients, by a single surgeon. Data were retrieved from a prospectively collected Institutional database, and used for the present retrospective evaluation. Post-operative pancreatic fistulas (POPF) were stratified with the Fistula Risk Score (FRS), based on the 2005-International Study Group of Pancreatic Fistula classification (ISGPFc) and on the subsequent 2016-revised version (ISGPSc).

resultsISGPFc POPF occurred in 17/100 (17%): grade A in 10/100 (10%), grade B in 6/100 (6%) and grade C in 1/100 (1%). On the ISGPSc, POPF rate averaged 7%: grade B in 6/100 (6%) and grade C in 1/100 (1%). POPF rate associated with high FRS was 18.8%/6.3% (ISGPFc/ISGPSc). With low and intermediate FRS, POPFs were 5.3%/0% (ISGPFc/ISGPSc) and 21.3%/9.8% (ISGPFc/ISGPSc) respectively. Re-operation rate was 3%. In-hospital mortality rate was 2% and specific mortality rate for POPF was 1%.

conclusionsThe mPJ technique is associated with a POPF rate which was less than expected, especially for "difficult" pancreas with high FRS (soft gland texture and small duct). A larger prospective series is needed in addition to comparative studies with other techniques for robust assessment.
