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

BACKGROUND/

aimsIschemic gastropathy remains as a persistent problem after left gastric artery (LGA) resection in distal pancreatectomy with celiac axis en-bloc resection (DP-CAR). The middle colic artery (MCA) was found to be a useful vessel for compromised collateral flow. However, intraoperative gross evaluation of gastric ischemia is technically difficult even after artery reconstruction.

methodsWe performed LGA reconstruction by MCA-LGA bypass after LGA-resecting DP-CAR assisted by intraoperative indocyanine green fluorescence imaging (ICG) blood flow evaluation in a clinical trial (UMIN000020414). The LGA was reconstructed with the MCA microscopically by plastic surgeons with an everting interrupted suture in end-to-end anastomosis.

resultsWe could evaluate ICG blood flow not only in the reconstructed artery, but also simultaneously in the gastric wall through a monitor connected to a detector. We could also assess the congestive status of the gastric wall by ICG disappearance from the gastric wall.

conclusionWe present LGA reconstruction by MCA-LGA bypass after LGA-resecting DP-CAR. We conducted a perioperative assessment of ischemic gastropathy to confirm the feasibility and safety of this procedure.
